"Love by the sweat of thy brow.Not through whispered words of hollow sound or lofty dreams ne'er substance bound that more than oft do run aground. Nay, love with mighty, blistered hands that turn the soil and carve the land. A bearer of toil and golden band. Be strong! A founder of the feast! Protective knight who slays the beast! For promises and vows aloud are naught but wispy veneer shroud like cobwebs, frail, the airy words and wooing fail. So work, my darling. Toil as proof. Thy loyal heart be drained of youth and yet beat on, incessant sound. Both feet take root within the ground, and service be thy kingly crown.Love by the sweat of thy brow."

Richelle E. Goodrich, American Poet

"None of us can undo what we've done, or relive a life already recorded. But, ... there is no such thing as "too late" in life."

Renewal

"If you don't respect the other person, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you don't know how to compromise, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you can't talk openly about what goes on between you, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. And if you have different set of values in life, you're gonna have a lot of trouble.Your values must be alike. And the biggest of those values... the belief in the importance of your marriage."

Marriage

"Heaven . . . is the same feeling. . . . No fear. No dark. When you know you are loved . . . that's the light."

Heaven

"We really don't experience the world fully, because we're half-asleep, doing things we automatically think we have to do.And facing death changes that?"Oh, yes. You strip away all that stuff and you focus on the essentials."

Awareness

"Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search."And no matter how far they try to go the other way " to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty " at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end?I shrugged."You see?He leaned back. He smiled."When you come to the end, that's where God begins."

Faith

"Sacrifice is a part of life. It's supposed to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to."

Sacrifice

".. I thought about him now and then, the things he had taught me about 'being human' and 'relating to others;, but it was always in the distance, as if from another life.. .. The people who might have told me were long forgotten, their phone numbers buried in some packed-away box in the attic."
