Good humor is the health of the soul, sadness is its poison.
Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Christina Rossetti
The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.
Thomas Hardy
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.
W.C. Fields
