Quote_1.png
Vera Miles

"When you realized that you would have to ask for help, you did not feel humiliated. And when you learned that someone needed help, you showed them all that you had learned without fearing that you might be revealing secrets or being used by others. To he who knocks, the door will open.He who asks will receive.He who consoles knows that he will be consoled.Even if none of these things happens when you are expecting it to, sooner or later you will see the fruits of the thing you shared with such generosity."

Vera Miles

"If you give what can be taken, you are not really giving. Take what you are given, not what you want to be given. Give what cannot be taken."
