Lucy Larcom

A light heart lives long

William Shakespeare

Sometimes when you pick up your child you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands, or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck. This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood - finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live without.

Ernest Renan

Proverb

The highest in God's esteem are the lowest in their own.

Thomas Kempis
