To us$$$ family means putting your arms around each other and being there.

If there be a fate that is sometimes cruel to me$$$ there surely is a kind and merciful Providence which watches over me.

To devastate is easier and more spectacular than to create.

Laugh and the world laughs with you$$$ snore and you sleep alone.

Even as the law uncovers sin and forbids it$$$ it does not provide the power to subdue it.

In times of affliction we commonly meet with the sweetest experiences of the love of God.

Experience can dull. With most men experience is a series of mistakes; the more experience you have the less you know.

But as God said$$$ crossing his legs$$$ I see where I have made plenty of poets but not so very much poetry.

If you're going to try$$$ go all the way. This could mean losing girlfriends$$$ wives$$$ relatives$$$ jobs and maybe your mind.

That's what friendship is$$$ sharing the prejudice of experience.
