1. A mother’s love is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, it never fails or falters, even though the heart is breaking.
2. It takes a Mother’s Love to make a house a home, A place to be remembered, no matter where we roam.
3. Love changes darkness into light and makes the heart take a wingless flight.
4. And each day as it comes brings a chance to each one to love to the fullest, leaving nothing undone.

Excerpt from Wikipedia: Helen Steiner Rice (1900 – 1981) was an American writer of religious and inspirational poetry. Helen Steiner was born in Lorain, Ohio on May 19, 1900. Her father, a railroad worker, died in the influenza epidemic of 1918. She began work for a public utility and progressed to the position of advertising manager, which was rare for a woman at that time. She also became the Ohio State Chairman of the Women’s Public Information Committee of the Electric Light Association, and campaigned for women’s rights and improved working conditions.
In 1929 she married Franklin Rice, a bank vice-president in Dayton, Ohio. After the stock market crash in October that year, Franklin lost his job and his investments. He fell into a depression from which he never recovered, and committed suicide in 1932.
Rice became a successful businesswoman and lecturer, but found her most satisfying outlet in writing verse for a prominent greeting card company namely American Greetings. Her poems received wide exposure in the 1960s when several were read by Aladdin on the poetry segment of the Lawrence Welk television show.
The demand for her poems became so great that her books are still selling steadily after many printings, and she has been acclaimed as “America’s beloved inspirational poet laureate“. Helen Steiner Rice’s books of inspirational poetry have now sold nearly seven million copies. Her strong religious faith and the ability she had to express deep emotion give her poems timeless appeal.
She died in 1981 and was buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Lorain, Ohio.
Even that which is beautiful
Can sometimes bring pain,
So to love from the heart,
Is to invite the rain.
But to reach for the rose,
You must fear not the thorn,
So to love from the soul,
Is to embrace the storm.
Your Loved One lives In Your Heart
Many tender memories soften your grief,
May fond recollection bring you relief,
And may you find comfort and peace in the thought
Of the joy that knowing your loved one brought…
For time and space can never divide
Or keep your loved one from your side
When memory paints in colors true
The happy hours that belonged to you.
A Mother’s Love
A Mother’s love is something
that no on can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God’s tender guiding hand.
A mother’s love is like an island
In life’s ocean vast and wide,
A peaceful, quiet shelter
From the restless, rising tide.
A mother’s love is like a fortress
And we seek protection there
When the waves of tribulation
Seem to drown us in despair.
A mother’s love is a sanctuary
Where our soul can find sweet rest
From the struggle and the tension
Of life’s fast and futile quest.
A mother’s love is like a tower
Rising far above the crowd,
And her smile is like the sunshine
Breaking through a threatening cloud.
A mother’s love is like a beacon
Burning bright with Faith and Prayer
And through the changing scenes of life
We can find a haven there….
For a mother’s love is fashioned
After God’s enduring love,
It is endless and unfailing
Like the love of Him above.
For God knew in His great wisdom
That he couldn’t be everywhere,
So he put His little Children
In a loving mother’s care.
Climb ‘Til Your Dream Comes True
Often your tasks will be many,
And more than you think you can do.
Often the road will be rugged
And the hills insurmountable, too.
But always remember,
The hills ahead
Are never as steep as they seem,
And with Faith in your heart
Start upward
And climb ’til you reach your dream.
For nothing in life that is worthy
Is ever too hard to achieve
If you have the courage to try it,
And you have the faith to believe.
For faith is a force that is greater
Than knowledge or power or skill,
And many defeats turn to triumph
If you trust in God’s wisdom and will.
For faith is a mover of mountains,
There’s nothing that God cannot do,
So, start out today with faith in your heart,
And climb ’til your dream comes true!
The Magic Of Love
Love is like magic
And it always will be.
For love still remains
Life’s sweet mystery!!
Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there’s nothing in life
That love cannot change!!
Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and grace.
Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart
And not with its mind!!
Love is the answer
That everyone seeks…
Love is the language,
That every heart speaks.
Love can’t be bought,
It is priceless and free,
Love, like pure magic,
Is life’s sweet mystery!
A Marriage Blessing
As you enter into the little world,
that you promised to make brighter for each other,
may He who harnesses the waves
and hanges the sun out in the sky
and puts the song in the birds
especially bless you
and make your marriage a good and happy one!
Love is indeed “a many splendored thing!”
When it is given and returned,
it enriches both the Lover an the Beloved.
And as long as two people love each other,
nothing in this world is too difficult or too impossible
for wanting to do something for the one you love
takes all the burden out of it
and roughest way becomes smooth
when you can travel it hand in hand
1. The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one’s relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident.
—————————————- Excerpt from Wikipedia: Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole (13 March 1884 – 1 June 1941) was an English novelist. A prolific writer, he published thirty-six novels, five volumes of short stories, two plays and three volumes of memoirs. His skill at scene-setting, his vivid plots, his high profile as a lecturer and his driving ambition brought him a large readership in the United Kingdom and North America. A best-selling author in the 1920s and 1930s, his works have been neglected since his death.
1. Tisn’t life that matters! ‘Tis the courage you bring to it.
2. Don’t play for safety – it’s the most dangerous thing in the world.
3. Happiness comes from … some curious adjustment to life.
4. The happiest people I have known in this world have been the Saints – and, after these, the men and women who get immediate and conscious enjoyment from little things.
1. Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
2. Love is the best thing in the world, and the thing that lives the longest.
—————————————- Excerpt from Wikipedia: Henry Jackson van Dyke (1852 – 1933), was an American author, educator, and clergyman. He was born on November 10, 1852 in Germantown, Pennsylvania in the United States. He graduated from Princeton University in 1873 and from Princeton Theological Seminary, 1877 and served as a professor of English literature at Princeton between 1899 and 1923. In 1908-09 Dr. van Dyke was an American lecturer at the University of Paris. By appointment of President Wilson he became Minister to the Netherlands and Luxembourg in 1913. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters and received many other honors.
He chaired the committee that wrote the first Presbyterian printed liturgy, The Book of Common Worship of 1906. Among his popular writings are the two Christmas stories The Other Wise Man (1896) and The First Christmas Tree (1897). Various religious themes of his work are also expressed in his poetry, hymns and the essays collected in Little Rivers (1895) and Fisherman’s Luck (1899). He wrote the lyrics to the popular hymn, “Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee” (1907), sung to the tune of Beethoven’s Ode to Joy. He compiled several short stories in The Blue Flower (1902) named after the key symbol of Romanticism introduced first by Novalis. He also contributed a chapter to the collaborative novel, The Whole Family (1908). Among his poems is Katrina’s Sundial, the inspiration for the song Time Is by the group It’s a Beautiful Day on their eponymous 1969 debut album.
A biography of Van Dyke, titled Henry Van Dyke: A Biography, was written by his son Tertius van Dyke and published in 1935.
2. A peace that depends on fear is nothing but a suppressed war.
3. Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play, and to look up at the stars.
4. Genius is talent set on fire by courage.

12. Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
13. What we do belongs to what we are; and what we are is what becomes of us.
14. What you possess in the world will be found at the day of your death to belong to someone else. But what you are will be yours forever.
15. Gratitude is a twofold love / love coming to visit us, and love running out to greet a welcome guest.
1. Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something you said; after marriage, he’ll fall asleep before you finish saying it.
2. After a few years of marriage a man can look right at a woman without seeing her and a woman can see right through a man without looking at him.
3. To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
4. Marriage is like twirling a baton, turning hand springs or eating with chopsticks. It looks easy until you try it.
5. In love, somehow, a man’s heart is always either exceeding the speed limit, or getting parked in the wrong place.
6. Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the imagination and bottling the common sense.
7. Marriage is the miracle that transforms a kiss from a pleasure into a duty.
8. Marriage is the operation by which a woman’s vanity and a man’s egotism are extracted without an anaesthetic.
9. Love, like a chicken salad a restaurant has, must be taken with blind faith or it loses its flavor.

1. A man is like a cat; chase him and he will run – sit still and ignore him and he’ll come purring at your feet.
2. Flirting is the gentle art of making a man feel pleased with himself.
3. Some women can be fooled all of the time, and all women can be fooled some of the time, but the same woman can’t be fooled by the same man in the same way more than half of the time.

10. A man snatches the first kiss, pleads for the second, demands the third, takes the fourth, accepts the fifth – and endures all the rest.
11. And verily, a woman need know but one man well, in order to understand all men; whereas a man may know all women and understand not one of them.
12. A good woman inspires a man; a brilliant woman interests him; a beautiful woman fascinates him; and a sympathetic woman gets him.
13. Every man wants a woman to appeal to his better side, his nobler instincts and his higher nature – and another woman to help him forget them.
14. A woman’s flattery may inflate a man’s head a little; but her criticism goes straight to his heart, and contracts it so that it can never again hold quite as much love for her.
15. When two people decide to get a divorce, it isn’t a sign that they “don’t understand” one another, but a sign that they have, at last, begun to.
16. Why does a man take it for granted that a girl who flirts with him wants him to kiss her – when, nine times out of ten, she only wants him to want to kiss her?
17. Ever since Eve started it all by offering Adam the apple, woman’s punishment has been to supply a man with food then suffer the consequences when it disagrees with him.
18. To make a man perfectly happy tell him he works too hard, that he spends too much money, that he is ”misunderstood” or that he is ”different”; none of this is necessarily complimentary, but it will flatter him infinitely more that merely telling him that he is brilliant, or noble, or wise, or good.
19. It takes a woman twenty years to make a man of her son, and another woman twenty minutes to make a fool of him.
1. A man loses his sense of direction after four drinks; a woman loses hers after four kisses.

3. Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.
4. Love is the delusion that one man or woman differs from another.

L.” Mencken (September 12, 1880 – January 29, 1956), was an American journalist, essayist, magazine editor, satirist, acerbic critic of American life and culture, and a student of American English. Mencken, known as the “Sage of Baltimore“, is regarded as one of the most influential American writers and prose stylists of the first half of the 20th century.
Mencken is known for writing The American Language, a multi-volume study of how the English language is spoken in the United States, and for his satirical reporting on the Scopes trial, which he named the “Monkey” trial.
1. Conscience is the inner voice that warns us that someone might be looking.
2. I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant.
3. A judge is a law student who marks his own examination papers.
4. A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.
5. The older I grow, the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.
1. You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have really lived are the moments when you have done things in a spirit of love.
2. To love abundantly is to live abundantly, and to love forever is to live forever.
3. On the last analysis, then, love is life. Love never faileth and life never faileth so long as there is love.
4. He that dwelleth in love, dwelleth in God. God is love. Therefore love. Without distinction, without calculation, without procrastination, love. Lavish it upon the poor, where it is very easy; especially upon the rich, who often need it most; most of all upon out equals, where it is very difficult, and for whom perhaps we do the least of all.

————————————- Excerpt from Wikipedia: Henry Valentine Miller (26 December 1891 – 7 June 1980) was an American novelist and painter. He was known for breaking with existing literary forms and developing a new sort of ‘novel’ that is a mixture of novel, autobiography, social criticism, philosophical reflection, surrealist free association, and mysticism, one that is distinctly always about and expressive of the real-life Henry Miller and yet is also fictional. His most characteristic works of this kind are Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn and Black Spring. He also wrote travel memoirs and essays of literary criticism and analysis.
1. In this age, which believes that there is a short cut to everything, the greatest lesson to be learned is that the most difficult way is, in the long run, the easiest.
2. Instead of asking ‘How much damage will the work in question bring about?’ why not ask ‘How much good? How much joy?’
3. No man is great enough or wise enough for any of us to surrender our destiny to. The only way in which anyone can lead us is to restore to us the belief in our own guidance.
4. Let me be, was all I wanted. Be what I am, no matter how I am.
5. The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.
6. Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.
7. Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
8. The tragedy of it is that nobody sees the look of desperation on my face. Thousands and thousands of us, and we’re passing one another without a look of recognition.
9. We should read to give our souls a chance to luxuriate.
10. Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring, through obeying the blind urge.
11. Back of every creation, supporting it like an arch, is faith. Enthusiasm is nothing: it comes and goes. But if one believes, then miracles occur.
12. It’s good to be just plain happy, it’s a little better to know that you’re happy; but to understand that you’re happy and to know why and how and still be happy, be happy in the being and the knowing, well that is beyond happiness, that is bliss.
13. Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music – the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.
14. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end.
15. Everybody says sex is obscene. The only true obscenity is war.
16. Why are we so full of restraint? Why do we not give in all directions? Is it fear of losing ourselves? Until we do lose ourselves there is no hope of finding ourselves.
17. The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.
18. If there is to be any peace it will come through being, not having.
1. True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.
——————————————— Excerpt from Wikipedia: Honoré de Balzac (French pronunciation: [ɔnɔʁe də balˈzak]) (20 May 1799 – 18 August 1850) was a French novelist and playwright. His magnum opus was a sequence of almost 100 novels and plays collectively entitled La Comédie humaine, which presents a panorama of French life in the years after the fall of Napoléon Bonaparte in 1815.
Due to his keen observation of detail and unfiltered representation of society, Balzac is regarded as one of the founders of realism in European literature. He is renowned for his multi-faceted characters; even his lesser characters are complex, morally ambiguous and fully human. Inanimate objects are imbued with character as well; the city of Paris, a backdrop for much of his writing, takes on many human qualities. His writing influenced many famous authors, including the novelists Marcel Proust, Émile Zola, Charles Dickens, Gustave Flaubert, Marie Corelli, Henry James, Jack Kerouac, and Italo Calvino as well as important philosophers such as Friedrich Engels. Many of Balzac’s works have been made into films, and they continue to inspire other writers.
An enthusiastic reader and independent thinker as a child, Balzac had trouble adapting himself to the teaching style of his grammar school. His willful nature caused trouble throughout his life, and frustrated his ambitions to succeed in the world of business. When he finished school, Balzac was apprenticed as a legal clerk, but he turned his back on law after wearying of its inhumanity and banal routine. Before and during his career as a writer, he attempted to be a publisher, printer, businessman, critic, and politician. He failed in all of these efforts. La Comédie Humaine reflects his real-life difficulties, and includes scenes from his own experience.
Balzac suffered from health problems throughout his life, possibly due to his intense writing schedule. His relationship with his family was often strained by financial and personal drama, and he lost more than one friend over critical reviews. In 1850, he married Ewelina Hańska, his longtime love; he died five months later.
2. At the first kiss I felt something melt inside me that hurt in an exquisite way. All my longings, all my dreams and sweet anguish, all the secrets that slept deep within me came awake, everything was transformed and enchanted, and everything made sense.
——————————————– Excerpt from Wikipedia: Hermann Hesse (German pronunciation: [ˈhɛʀman ˈhɛsə]) (July 2, 1877 – August 9, 1962) was a German Swiss poet, novelist, and painter. In 1946 he received the Nobel Prize in Literature. His best-known works include Steppenwolf, Siddhartha, and The Glass Bead Game (also known as Magister Ludi) each of which explores an individual’s search for authenticity, self-knowledge and spirituality.
1. I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.
2. If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn’t part of ourselves doesn’t disturb us.
3. It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is.
4. Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.
5. Meaning and reality were not hidden somewhere behind things, they were in them, in all of them.
6. One never reaches home, but wherever friendly paths intersect the whole world looks like home for a time.
7. Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.
