“We are not evil, inadequate or incompetent when our relationships fail.”

“Forgive others, forgive yourself, forgive yourself for not being perfect, and accept responsibility for your own life.”

“Virtue and genuine graces in themselves speak what no words can utter.”

“Then others for breath of words respect, Me for my dumb thoughts, speaking in effect.”

“Nature her custom holds, Let shame say what it will.”
