For hope is always born at the same time as love.

Dreams are today's answers to tomorrow's questions.

The mind$$$ too$$$ has a kind of blood; in common speech we call it hope.

Either a building is part of a place or it is not. Once that kinship is there$$$ time will only make it stronger.

The children you don't especially need$$$ you have always with you$$$ like the poor. But the bright ones get away from you. They have their own way to make in the world. Seems like the brighter they are$$$ the farther they go.

A man long accustomed to admire his wife in general$$$ seldom pauses to admire her in a particular gown or attitude$$$ unless his attention is directed to her by the appreciative gaze of another man.

Old people$$$ who have felt blows and toil and known the world's hard hand$$$ need$$$ even more than children do$$$ a woman's tenderness.

Prayers said by good people are always good prayers.

Artistic growth is$$$ more than it is anything else$$$ a refining of the sense of truthfulness. The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist$$$ the great artist$$$ knows how difficult it is.

The soul cannot be humbled by fasts and prayer; it must be broken by mortal sin to experience forgiveness of sin and rise to a state of grace. Otherwise$$$ religion is nothing but dead logic.
