QUOTATIONS

You are going to let the fear of poverty govern your life and your reward will be that you will eat, but you will not live.
-George Bernard Shaw

In order to preserve your self-respect, it is sometimes necessary to lie and cheat.
-Robert Byrne

He who gives what he would as readily throw away, gives without generosity; for the essence of generosity is in self sacrifice.
-Henry Taylor

It is not easy for men to rise whose qualities are thwarted by poverty.
- Juvenal, Satires

If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.
-George Bernard Shaw

Anyone who had ever struggled with poverty knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor.
-James Baldwin, Fifth Avenue Uptown: A Letter From

Caregiver: that word should weigh more than others on a page, sag it down a bit and wrinkle it, because the simple-sounding job frazzles as it consumes and depletes. Not that it's only gloomy. Caregiving offers many fringe benefits, including the sheer sensory delight of nourishing and grooming, sharing, and playing. There's something uniquely fulfilling about being a lodestar, feeling so deeply needed, and it's fun finding creative ways to gladden a loved one's life. But caregiving does buttonhole you; you're stitched in one place.
-Diane Ackerman, One Hundred Names for Love: A Stroke, A Marriage, and the Language of Healing

Life is a long lesson in humility.
-James M Barrie

To be a successful father there's one absolute rule: when you have a kid, don't look at it for the first two years.
-Ernest Hemmingway

There will always be a part, and always a very large part of every community, that have no care but for themselves, and whose care for themselves reaches little further than impatience of immediate pain, and eagerness for the nearest good.
-Samual Johnson, Taxation No Tyranny

There art two cardinal sins from which all others spring: Impatience and Laziness.
-Franz Kafka

The truth that many people never understand, until it is too late, is that the more you try to avoid suffering the more you suffer because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you in proportion to your fear of being hurt.
-Thomas Merton

You desire to know the art of living, my friend? It is contained in one phrase: make use of suffering.
-Henri-Frédéric Amiel

Patience has its limits. Take it too far, and it's cowardice.
-George Jackson

What self-control doesn't mean is mindless self-sacrifice or knee-jerk self-denial.
-Daniel Akst, We Have Met the Enemy: Self-Control in an Age of Excess

If you continue to expend your energy trying to change things that don’t really matter in the long run or that are not within your sphere of influence, you’ll wind up exhausted and frustrated, with no positive results to show for your effort.
-Julie A., M.A. Ross and Judy Corcoran, Joint Custody with a Jerk: Raising a Child with an Uncooperative Ex

I try to avoid looking backward and keep looking upward.
-Charlotte Bronte

Decency...must be an even more exhausting state to maintain than its opposite. Those who succeed seem to need a stupefying amount of sleep.
-Quentin Crisp
