“Those who’ve known great sadness have a better appreciation for happiness. Those who’ve seen death know the value of life.”

“…Those who’ve marred their appearance in any way by their actions in life aren’t forced to witness that marring. If they were, they’d become self-conscious and be unable to concentrate on improving themselves.”

“those who understands is not better than those who appreciates, those who appreciates is not better than those who enjoys.”

“Because I have no actual sisters, it is my friends from Ames who’ve exposed me to every facet of womanhood.”

“Who would fare better in this world of fitful time? Those who have seen the future and live only one life? Or those who have not seen the future and wait to live life? Or those who deny the future and live two lives?”

“All I have learned in life really just boils down to this: there is only one difference between the so-called wise and the so-called foolish...and between those who are truly happy and those who are not. Those who are wise - and those who are happy - embrace and appreciate life. Those who are unhappy and unwise do not. That is all; that is the only difference.”
