Henry Ward Beecher

Mistakes are the usual bridge between inexperience and wisdom.

Phyllis Therous

The more we believe that God hurts only to heal, the less we can believe that there is any use in begging for tenderness. A cruel man might be bribed...But suppose that what you are up against is a surgeon whose intentions are wholly good. The kinder and more conscientious he is, the more inexorably he will go on cutting. If he yielded to your entreaties, if he stopped before the operation was complete, all the pain up to that point would have been useless. But is it credible that such extremities of torture should be necessary for us? Well, take your choice. The tortures occur. If they are unnecessary, then there is no God or a bad one. If there is a good God, then these tortures are necessary. For no even moderately good Being could possibly inflict or permit them if they weren't. Either way, we're for it.

C.S. Lewis

Someday you'll find someone special again. People who've been in love once usually do. It's in their nature.

Nicholas Sparks

The tougher the job, the greater the reward.

George Allen

Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?

Epictetus

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.

Anne Dudley Bradstreet

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

George Bernard Shaw
