“Don't wish me happinessI don't expect to be happy all the time...It's gotton beyond that somehow.Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor.I will need them all.”
“Expect nothing and you don't need the courage to hope, nor the strength to withstand disappointment when nothing comes.”
“Strength, courage & wisdom...it's been inside of me all along...”
“Makes sense to me. Sometimes starting over is exactly what a person needs. And I think it's admirable. A lot of people don't have the courage it takes to do something like that.”
“I learned you pay for your happiness. That's why I don't expect to be happy all the time. I'd rather be surprised by one moment every so often to remind me that joy is possible, even if I have to pay for it later.”
“Haven't we all been hurt? Don't you think it takes courage to be happy, to feel, to love? Don't you think it costs us all?—Rivka”
