Hope, deceitful though it be, is at least of this good use to us that while we are traveling through this life, it conducts us by an easier and more pleasant way to our journey's end.

Francois, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.

Buddha

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

Mother Theresa

This is the art of courage: to see things as they are and still believe that the victory lies not with those who avoid the bad, but those who taste, in living awareness, every drop of the good.

Victoria Lincoln
