“Go far from home and yo will have a long way back.”

“Time is like the Mississippi River. It only flows in one direction. You can never go back.”

“Better to stop one paddle short than one too far.”

“Kindness, when given away, keeps coming back.”

“What was home, really? Just a place to lay your head.No. It was so much more than that. It was a place where a person belonged. Where a fellow would be missed. It was a part of a man. Something that couldn't be sold or taken for granted.”

“Good deeds have echoes.”

“Blessed are those who have nothing to say, and who cannot be persuaded to say it.”
