Felicia’s Journey by the Irish short-story writer and novelist William Trevor.
You make name for yourself when you overcome pain, weakness, laziness and ignorance
Each day I will accomplish one thing on my to list.
If your success is not amazing to your critics, it disturbs, infuriates, and frustrates them, and if they're not careful; may go hang themselves and go to hell.
I have found so much beauty in the dark,as I have found a lot of horror in the light.
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
This earth is His, to Him belong those vast and boundless skies;Both seas within Him rest, and yet in that small pool He lies.
Forgiveness requires a sense that bad behaviour is a sign of suffering rather than malice.
I raised you so high that every other man on earth is now doomed to live in your shadow.
Life is just a schoolroom with a glorious opportunity to prepare us for eternity.
A man of sixty has spent twenty years in bed and over three years in eating.
