“There are two kinds of women: those who marry princes and those who marry frogs. The frogs never become princes, but it is an acknowledged fact that a prince may very well, in the course of an ordinary marrige, gradually, at first almost imperceptibly, turn into a frog. Happy the woman who after twenty-five years still wakes up beside the prince she fell in love with.” YearsFirstsWellsKindMayStillsTwoFactsTurnsCoursesFiveOrdinaryWake UpTwentiesFive YearsFrogsTwenty Five Book:The Frog Prince: A Fairy Tale for Consenting Adults Source: The Frog Prince: A Fairy Tale for Consenting Adults
“What may appear to be proud ungrateful and headstrong fron the outside may from the inside express an unshakable integrity of character. Pride, if it doesn't step over the line into arrogance, is simply an unprejudiced self-esteem. Ingratitude is the appropriate response to a kindness that has hooks on it. Headstrong is another word for trusting your own heart.” IfsHeartMaySelfCharacterLinesStepsKindnessSelf EsteemPrideProudIntegrityResponseEsteemArroganceAppropriateBe ProudHookUngratefulIngratitudeUnshakableHeadstrong Author:Stephen Mitchell
