Let the gentle bush dig its root deep and spread upward to split the boulder.
Carl Sandburg
There must be several young women who would render the Christian life intensely difficult to him if only you could persuade him to marry one of them.
C.S. Lewis
Associate with the noblest people you can find read the best books live with the mighty. But learn to be happy alone. Rely upon your own energies, and so do not wait for, or depend on other people.
