Sisters are brittle things. God was penurious with me, which makes me shrewd with Him. One is a dainty sum! One bird, one cage, one flight; one song in those far woods, as yet suspected by faith only!
— Emily Dickinson
Luck is not chance, it's toil; fortune's expensive smile is earned.
Not knowing when the dawn will come I open every door.
If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.
How strange that nature does not knock, and yet does not intrude!
The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.
I dwell in possibility.
Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all.
Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.
Behavior is what a man does, not what he thinks, feels, or believes.
