The proper motto is not Be good, sweet maid, and let who can be clever, but Be good sweet maid, and dont forget that this involves being as clever as you can. God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than any other slackers. – C.S. Lewis
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seamed with scars; martyrs have put on their coronation robes glittering with fire, and through their tears have the sorrowful first seen the gates of Heaven. – Edwin Hubbell Chapin
Later in my life, Im going to look back and smile and be very fulfilled. I know that if I dont give it my all right now Ill regret it later. Thats very important to me, because Ive worked all my life to have this. – Shania Twain
