“...For having a baby's sweet face so close to your own, for so long a time as it takes to nurse 'em, is a great tonic for a sad soul.”

“There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.”

“You don't have to do it on your own. Let me take some of the weight, baby."But he has so much already. "You have your own problems.""We'll share each others.”

“Fold your arms round me close and strain me so that our hearts may break and our souls go free at last. Take me to that happy place of which you told me long ago. The fields whence none return, but where great singers sing their songs forever.”

“Little baby's smile so sweet for everyone”

“The sad truth is, if you push hard enough, and if you’re so stubborn that you must have things your way, God will sometimes allow you to undertake a project without His blessing or at the wrong time. The problem with that, of course, is when you start something in your own strength and in your own timing, you’re going to have to finish it and maintain it in your own strength.”
