Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be. ~Grandma Moses

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but
often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has
been opened for us.
Helen Keller

Sparrows...

Matthew 10:29-31

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Gandhi

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
--Mohandas Gandhi

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. ~Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan, 1893
