“No one understood the value of something that was measured with a different standard than they themselves measured by. Matthew was thought to be worthless because he did not communicate how everyone did. My father thought me worthless because I did not have the same business sense that he and my brother were born with.”
― Sarah Holman, A Different Kind of Courage

“Sure, at heart I wanted to be a Dickens, but I hated being great on command.”
― Rachel Heffington, Fly Away Home

“The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.”

“Ambition is your own yoke, not His! And the lust of wealth, the desire for power, the craving for human love—all that is a yoke of your own making—and if you will wear it, it will gall you. There is more joy in being unknown than in being known and there is less care in having no wealth than in having much of it. We often go the wrong way to work in seeking true restfulness and happiness.”
