~William Penn

To those who have lived long together, everything heard and everything seen recalls some pleasure communicated, some benefit conferred, some petty quarrel or some slight endearment.

~Samuel Johnson

Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living.

May the blessing of light be on you, light without and light within. May the blessed sunshine shine on you and warm your heart till it glows like a great peat fire, so that the stranger may come and warm himself at it, and also a friend.
~Traditional Irish blessing

Nobody sees a flower--really--it is so small it takes time--we haven't time--and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.
~Georgia O'Keefe

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor to measure words but to pour them all out, just as it is, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keeping what is worth keeping, and then, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.

~Washington Irving

The mother loves her child most divinely, not when she surrounds him with comfort and anticipates his wants, but when she resolutely holds him to the highest standards and is content with nothing less than his best.

Quotes about Fatherhood

Until you have a son of your own . . . you will never know the joy, the love beyond feeling that resonates in the heart of a father as he looks upon his son. You will never know the sense of honor that makes a man want to be more than he is and to pass something good and hopeful into the hands of his son. And you will never know the heartbreak of the fathers who are haunted by the personal demons that keep them from being the men they want their sons to be.

~Kent Nerburn

My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

Sherman made the terrible discovery that men make about their fathers sooner or later... that the man before him was not an aging father but a boy, a boy much like himself, a boy who grew up and had a child of his own and, as best he could, out of a sense of duty and, perhaps love, adopted a role called Being a Father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a Protector, who would keep a lid on all the chaotic and catastrophic possibilities of life.
~Tom Wolfe

Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid; one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble in gentle victory... Give him humility, so that he may always remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, and the meekness of true strength. Then I his father will dare whisper, "I have not lived in vain." ~General Douglas McArthur

Any man can be a father but it takes a special person to be a Dad.

~proverb

A dad is a person who is loving and kind,

And often he knows what you have in mind.

He's someone who listens, suggests and defends,

A dad can be one of your very best friends.

He's proud of your triumphs, but when things go wrong,

A dad can be patient and helpful and strong.

In all that you do, a dad's love plays a part.

There's always a place for him deep in your heart.

And each year that passes, you're even more glad,

More grateful and proud just to call him your dad!

~Author Unknown

And beauty is a form of genius - is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts of the world, like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon. It cannot be questioned. It has its own divine right of sovereignty. It makes princes of those who have it.

~Oscar Wilde

If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it.

~Vincent van Gogh

A baby is born with a need to be loved - and never outgrows it.

The baby has learned to smile, and her smiles burst forth like holiday sparklers, lighting our hearts.
Joy fills the room. At what are we smiling? We don't know we don't care. We are communicating with one another in happiness, and the smiles are the outward display of our delight and our love.
~Joan Lowery Nixon

This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of a divine accident...

~Sir Hugh Walpole

You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.

Heaven up above.

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and forever cry.

I am not there. I did not die.

~Melinda Sue Pacho

Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace.

~Milan Kundera

He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the winds. He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea. He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being; by the way he rests against my leg; by the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he shows his hurt when I leave without taking him. (I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not along to care for me.) When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive. When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile. When I am happy, he is joy unbounded. When I am a fool, he ignores it. When I succeed, he brags. Without him, I am only another man. With him, I am all-powerful. He is loyalty itself. He has taught me the meaning of devotion. With him, I know a secret comfort and a private peace. He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant. His head on my knee can heal my human hurts. His presence by my side is protection against my fears of dark and unknown things. He has promised to wait for me... whenever... wherever - in case I need him. And I expect I will - as I always have. He is just my dog.

~Gene Hill

Whoever said you can't buy happiness forgot little puppies.

~Gene Hill

To err is human, to forgive, canine.

~Author Unknown

You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us.

~Robert Louis Stevenson

When the Man waked up he said, 'What is Wild Dog doing here?' And the Woman said, 'His name is not Wild Dog any more, but the First Friend, because he will be our friend for always and always and always.'

~Rudyard Kipling

My little dog---a heartbeat at my feet.

~Edith Wharton

The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. . . .He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. . . .When all other friends desert, he remains.

~George G Vest

If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.
