My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments.
Frank, Anne

Keats, John

17.

The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is how you use them

37.
The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.
Seneca

38.
