Quote by Eugenia Price

“if someone has just hurt you or broken your heart, if someone has just died, all the grace you need is there-waiting for you to receive it.

Besides, if our actions are driven only by reward or punishment--eternal or otherwise--then they are motivated by greed and selfishness, not faith or love. That is where so many people go wrong, even those who say they believe [...]. They obey because the think it will make their *lives* better, rather than *themselves*. And that is very much the wrong reason.”

“Throughout my life," she said, spreading her arms out as if to say that the wall was her life, "I've set goals, mapped out a course of action, a measurable plan, and then step-by-step, I've accomplished those goals. I accomplish the goal in question and don't concern myself with what thangs look like or how my plan is perceived along the way. Only the end result matters, the culmination of multiple parts, tiny steps I recognized early on as critical.”
