"We all have our own life to pursue, our own kind of dream to be weaving, and we all have the power to make wishes come true, as long as we keep believing."
"I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship."
"The power of finding beauty in the humblest things makes home happy and life lovely."
"If you feel your value lies in being merely decorative, I fear that someday you might find yourself believing that’s all that you really are. Time erodes all such beauty, but what it cannot diminish is the wonderful workings of your mind: Your humor, your kindness, and your moral courage. These are the things I cherish so in you. I so wish I could give my girls a more just world. But I know you’ll make it a better place." -- Marmee, Little Women"
"Keep good company, read good books, love good things and cultivate soul and body as faithfully as you can"
