For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

It is one of the beautiful compensations in this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.

I am a woman in process. I'm just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.

When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for, when nobody needs you, that's when I think life is over.
