I've got a good mind, and I'm going to keep it.

If you think yourselves strong, strong you will be.

Oh cupbearer, bring wine, for the path of love is full of thorns.

The mothers love is not given to us to spoil us with indulgence, but to soften our hearts, that we may in turn soften others with kindness.
