We need Joy as we need air. We need Love as we need water. We need each other as we need the earth we share.
When you wish someone joy, you wish them peace, love, prosperity, happiness... all the good things.
Someone was hurt before you, wronged before you, hungry before you, frightened before you, beaten before you, humiliated before you, raped before you... yet, someone survived... You can do anything you choose to do.
Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.
Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!
You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies. You may trod me in the very dirt, but still like dust, I'll rise.
Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.
