“I have a deep-down belief that there are folks in the world who are good through and through, and others who came in mean and will go out mean. It's like coffee.

“Living is getting knocked down time and again, then standing up time and again, and once more. It's easy to act honorable when things are coming along and all your pastures are green.

People who don't have hard times aren't living.”
― Nancy E. Turner, Sarah's Quilt

“Yes, I see that you are behaving like a prince but that doesn't mean you won't behave like a devil at the first opportunity.”
