Sometimes my need to love hurts-- myself, my family, my cause. Is there a cure? Of course. But I refuse. Refuse to stop loving, to stop caring. To avoid those tears, that pain...To err on the side of passion is human and right and the only way I'll live.

Walter Lippmann

One of the best temporary cures for pride and affection is seasickness; a man who wants to vomit never puts on airs.

Josh Billings

Try and trust will move mountains.

Proverb

Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

John Heywood

The most important of life's battles is the one we fight daily in the silent chambers of the soul.
