“Barney said that everybody deserves to have something good in their life at least once. I have. More than once.”
“A little hope goes a long way.”
“Don't sit back and wait for God to do it all. Ask for His advice, but be prepared to do the hard yards yourself.”
“There's little to see, but things leave an impression. It's a matter of time and repetition. As something old wears thin or out, something new wears in. The handle on the pump, the crank on the churn, the dipper floating in the bucket, the latch on the screen, the door on the privy, the fender on the stove, the knees of the pants and the seat of the chair, the handle of the brush and the lid to the pot exist in time but outside taste; they wear in more than they wear out. It can't be helped. It's neither good nor bad. It's the nature of life.”
