Ten For The Road

"Sometimes it is the person closest to us who must travel the furthest distance to be our friend."


"If you have a mom, there is nowhere you are likely to go where a prayer has not already been."


"Sometimes, I believe, we are allowed to get lost that we may find the right person to ask directions of."


"There comes a time in life when you realize that if they will start without you, you don't have to go. "


"Worse than breaking a promise is spending the rest of our lives staying true to a broken promise."


"No matter how mourned your death, there will be a gathering after the funeral where the chief topic of conversation is how good the squash casserole is."


"In people who change the world there is a calm that is the storm."


"There is scarcely one of the Ten Commandments that if acted upon in concert would not be a plot to overthrow the government."


"It takes a while, but eventually we realize that the people who were always there for the special occasions of our childhood had other things to do."


"Thinking that a new government is the answer is like thinking that the road would be safer if there were a new troll under the bridge."
