“A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.” Jane Austen

“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.” Ernest Hemingway

“A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees.” -Amelia Earhart
