“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.”

“No marriage is all sunshine, but two people can share one umbrella if they huddle close.”

“People who think of themselves as being entirely self-sufficient are, in fact, selfish. They nearly always proclaim their opinions as the only ones that count, their feelings as the only ones that matter, their ideas as the only ones worth thinking.”

“Is anybody happier, Because you passed his way?Does anyone remember That you spoke to him today?This day is almost over; And its toiling time is through;Is there anyone to utter now? A friednly word for you?Can you say tonight in passing With the days that slipped so fast,That you helped a single person, Of the many that you passed?Is a single heart rejoicing Over what you did or said?Does one whose hopes were fading Now with courage look aheda?Did you waste the day, or lose it? Was it well or poorly spent?Did you leave a trail of kindness Or a scar of discontent?”

“The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.”
