A poverty that is universal may be cheerfully borne it is an individual poverty that is painful and humiliating.
Amelia Barr
Image
But what do we know of the heart nearest to our own? What do we know of our own heart?
Amelia Barr
Image
... how poorly do we love even those whom we love most! We are not only bruised by the limitations of their love for us, but also by the limitations of our own love for them.
