“You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.”
― Erma Bombeck

“In life, you can resist, or you can make the most of inevitable storms. Learn how to run through the rain, Rose. Learn to get wet. But also learn how to rebuild after the winds and rain have torn everything to pieces.”
― Sarah Noffke, The Undoubtable Rose Beaufont Complete Series Boxed Set
