What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest
joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world.
View quotes by Robert E LeeMarriage hath in it less of beauty but more of safety, than the single life; it hath more care, but less danger, it is more merry, and more sad; it is fuller of sorrows, and fuller of
joys; it lies under more burdens, but it is supported by all the strengths of love and charity, and those burdens are delightful.

joys to this are folly,
Naught so sweet as Melancholy
View quotes by Robert BurtonFree me, I pray, to go in search of

View quotes by Andrew GreeleyLife is a book. Once you reach the end, there is no more. You can't keep reading. You are done. But look. Each stage in your life - going to high school, getting married, moving to a different city, having children, traveling to a new country - is a different chapter. Each chapter holds surprises,
joys, and hardships. Look at it that way, and look forward to beginning that new chapter. You can never get on with the story if you don't keep reading.
