We live in a beautiful and wonderful world, Demi, and the more you now about it the wiser and the better you will be. - Louisa May Alcott

...for love casts out fear, and gratitude can conquer pride.

I tell you I cannot bear it! I shall do something desperate if this life is not changed soon. It gets worse and worse, and I often feel as if I'd gladly sell my soul to Satan for a year of freedom.

It is an excellent plan to have some place where we can go to be quiet, when things vex or grieve us. There are a good many hard times in this life of ours, but we can always bear them if we ask help in the right way.
