It is easy to sit up and take notice, What is difficult is getting up and taking action.

True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.

The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.

Honore de Balzac
