“Life had taught her to be brave, to be patient, to love, to forgive.”

“Love made her patient. It made her hopeful.”

“Forgiveness is a virtue of the brave.”

“She supposed that all those years of loving a person who was dishonest had taught her a few things.”

“and taught him the only thing he had to learn about love: that nobody teaches life anything.”

“Love taught him shame; and shame, with love at strife,
Soon taught the sweet civilities of life.”

“We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world”

“My patients taught me not how to die, but how to live.”

“How can I forgive you? How can I forgive the person who killed me with the depth of her love?”

“Into the woods thenceforth in hast she went,
To seeke for hearbes, that mote him remedy;
For she of hearbes had great intendiment,
Taught of the Nymphe, which from her infancy
Her nourced had in trew Nobility:
There, whether it divine Tobacco were,
Or Panachaea, or Polygony,
She found, and brought it to her patient deare
Who al this while lay bleeding out his hart-bloud neare.”
