some favorite quotes

finish each day and be done with it. you have done what you could. some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” – ralph waldo emerson

when you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. fdr

life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are traveling the dark journey with us. oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind. - henri frederick amiel

god made both tears and laughter, and both for kind purposes; for as laughter enables mirth and surprise to breathe freely, so tears enable sorrow to vent itself patiently. Tears hinder sorrow from becoming despair and madness. --leigh hunt

one word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love. -sophocles
