There are many victories worse than a defeat.
From George Eliot
I like trying to get pregnant. I'm not so sure about childbirth.
We must not sit still and look for miracles; up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains, through faith in Christ Jesus, will do anything.
Adventure is not outside man; it is within.
Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds.
Consequences are unpitying.
People who can't be witty exert themselves to be devout and affectionate.
But what we call our despair is often only the painful eagerness of unfed hope.
The world is full of hopeful analogies and handsome, dubious eggs, called possibilities.
We hand folks over to God's mercy, and show none ourselves.
