“On the third day the friends of Christ coming at daybreak to the place found the grave empty and the stone rolled away. In varying ways they realized the new wonder; but even they hardly realized that the world had died in the night. What they were looking at was the first day of a new creation, with a new heaven and a new earth; and in a semblance of the gardener God walked again in the garden, in the cool not of the evening but of the dawn.” WorldWayFirstsEarthNightFoundHeavenChristWonderCreationGardenStonesEmptyThirdsDiedGravesEveningDawnGardenerSemblanceNew EarthDaybreak Author:Gilbert K.

“Hope is to a man as a bladder to a learning swimmer--it keeps him from sinking in the bosom of the waves, and by that help he may attain the exercise; but yet it many times makes him venture beyond his height, and then if that breaks, or a storm rises, he drowns without recovery. How many would die, did not hope sustain them! How many have died by hoping too much! This wonder we find in Hope, that she is both a flatterer and a true friend.” IfsMenMayHelpingDiesHopeWonderBreakToo MuchExerciseDiedWaveStormRecoveryHeightVentureTrue FriendBosomsSinkingSwimmerFlattererBladder Author:Owen Feltham

“I'm going out with these old guys. One guy gave me a hickey and left his teeth in my neck. Another man, we were having a perfectly lovely dinner; he looked up and me and went: You're not my wife!

“Well, the reality of her father was that he was a very diseased alcoholic, who died at the age of 34. And one always has to pause to wonder how much you have to drink to die at 34. And he was a really tragic father. I mean, he was absolutely unreliable. He was absolutely involved with various people. He had outside families, outside children, outside wives. He made his wife's life miserable. And she [Eleanor Roosevelt]ignored all of his faults and retained this sense of him as the perfect father.” PeopleWellsMeanChildrenMadeRealityAgeDiesFatherPerfectWonderWifeInvolvedDrinkDiedFaultsVariousMiserableTragicPausesIgnoredAlcoholicsUnreliableEleanorDiseasedPerfect Father Author:Blanche Wiesen Cook
