"Kindness to children, love for children, goodness..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“I must walk toward Oregon, and not toward Europe. And that way the nation is moving, and I may say that mankind progress from east to west. We go eastward to realize history and study the works of art and literature, retracing the steps of the race; we go westward as into the future, with a spirit of enterprise and adventure.”

“In solitude especialy do we begin to appreciate the advantage of living with someone who can think.”

“Do not despair of your life. You have force enough to overcome your obstacles.”

“Remember that a gesture of friendship, no matter how small, is always appreciated.”

“I'm just a friendly person; that runs in my family.”

“During the day extend that attitude to everyone you meet. Practice cherishing the "simplest" person (clerks, attendants, etc) or people you dislike.”

“I want to be a healer, and love all things that grow and are not barren.”

“And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.”

“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”
