There's one sad truth in life I've found
while journeying east and west:
The only folks we really wound
are those we love the best.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.
~Ella Wheeler Wilcox

“You can kiss your family and friends good-bye
and put miles between you,
but at the same time you carry them with you
in your heart, your mind, your body,
because you do not just live in a world
but a world lives in you.”
