From the Author

I prepared this book for my nephews and neice.
This book originated as a selection of life-affirming quotations I compiled for my nephews and niece for Christmas.

Because I was concerned that one of them might be too young for it, I wrote that they could "just put it away until you're ready for it...

"You'll be ready the first time things don't go the way you want them to, the first time you doubt your ability to do something, the first time you're tempted to quit or give up, the first time you fail at something.

"You'll be ready the first time you doubt a friend, or think you can't trust anyone...the first time you have to make an important choice...the first time you're afraid of something, or worried.

"You'll know when you're ready. When you are, these thoughts should give you the courage and confidence and spirit you need...and they'll remind you of the wonder and the joy of life, regardless of how dark things seem at the moment.

"I know they will...they always have for me."

So,in addition to being a resource for researchers, writers, students and so on, I hope this collection will provide such comfort and inspiration for the casual browser or reader.
