Being a mother

You think that true love is the only thing that can crush your heart; that will take your life and light it up or destroy it. Then you become a mother

Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy season 8x01

Quotes

Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, or glory in the flower
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind.

(William Wordsworth)

Success

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.

(Bessie Stanley. )
