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





Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away || Dinah Craik
