“What’s gone and what’s past help, should be past grief.” William Shakespeare

“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.” Mark Twain

“Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.” William Shakespeare

“There is no sin, and there can be no sin on all the earth , which the Lord will not forgive to the truly repentant! Man cannot commit a sin so great as to exhaust the infinite love of God . Can there be a sin which could exceed the love of God?” Fyodor Dostoevsky

“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature, and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.” Anne Frank
