Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.” Fyodor Doestoevsky
Venturing out…
Character counts…
“It is not the brains that matter most, but that which guides them — the character, the heart, generous qualities…” — Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Beauty attracts…but holiness INSPIRES!
Love God more…
“A sign that we love truly love God is that we love Him the same in all occasions.” St. Francis de Sales
When the going gets tough…
Marriage…
“And if the husband is kind and straightforward, why should not love last? The first phase of married love will pass, it is true, but then there will come a love that is better still. Then there will be the union of souls, they will have everything in common, there will be no secrets between them. And once they have children, the most difficult times will seem to them happy, so long as there is love and courage.” Fyodor Doestovsky
Perseverance in marriage
