"You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp."

Faith
A man of courage is also full of faith.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.
Martin Luther
As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit.
Emmanuel Teney
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
Mother Teresa
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
Kahlil Gibran
Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.

Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand.

Faith indeed tells what the senses do not tell, but not the contrary of what they see. It is above them and not contrary to them.

Faith is a passionate intuition.
William Wordsworth
Faith is not contrary to reason.

Friedrich Nietzsche

He who has faith has... an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well - even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.

Age
A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing sad and melancholy prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of eternal youth in a better world.
Maurice Chevalier
A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.
Robert Frost
Advice in old age is foolish; for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
After thirty, a body has a mind of its own.
Bette Midler
Age considers; youth ventures.
Rabindranath Tagore
Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone.
Jim Fiebig
Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.
Tom Stoppard
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Mark Twain
Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.
Don Marquis
All diseases run into one, old age.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.
Agatha Christie
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
Henry Ford
As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
As long as any adult thinks that he, like the parents and teachers of old, can become introspective, invoking his own youth to understand the youth before him, he is lost.
Margaret Mead
Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age.
Aristotle
Economists report that a college education adds many thousands of dollars to a man's lifetime income - which he then spends sending his son to college.
Bill Vaughan
Every man over forty is a scoundrel.
George Bernard Shaw
Forty is the old age of youth; fifty the youth of old age.
Victor Hugo
Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy person has no time to form.

Ray Bradbury
"If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: "It's gonna go wrong." Or "She's going to hurt me." Or,"I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore . . ." Well, that's nonsense. You're going to miss life. You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down."

"All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another."

Max Lucado
"A book should be a garden that fits in the hands. Word-petals of color. Stems of strength. Roots of truth. Turn a page and turn the seasons. Read the sentence and enjoy the roses. "
