I have never met a person whose greatest need was
anything other than real, unconditional love. You
can find it in a simple act of kindness toward
somone who needs help. There is no mistaking
love. You feel it in your heart. It is the
common fiber of life, the flame that heals our
soul, energizes our spirit and supplies passion to
our lives. It is our connection to God and to
each other.
- Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
I expect to pass through this world but once. Any
good therefore that I can do, or any kindness or
abilities that I can show to any fellow creature,
let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect
it, for I shall not pass this way again.
- William Penn
We are told that people stay in love because of

each other, because of many kindnesses, because of
luck . . . But part of it has got to be
forgiveness and gratefulness.

it For I shall not pass this way again.
