Love is to understand, at last, the suffering of another.
Pam Brown
Image
If there is a heaven, it's certain our animals are to be there. Their lives become so interwoven with our own, it would take more than an archangel to detangle them.
Pam Brown
Image
We expect too much at Christmas. It's got to be magical. It's got to go right. Feasting. Fun. The perfect present. All that anticipation. Take it easy. Love's the thing. The rest is tinsel.
Pam Brown

The first step to wisdom is to be sure one says and does what one believes.

Pam Brown
Image
A younger sister is someone to use as a guinea-pig in trying sledges and experimental go-carts. Someone to send on messages to Mum. But someone who needs you - who comes to you with bumped heads, grazed knees, tales of persecution. Someone who trusts you to defend her. Someone who thinks you know the answers to almost everything.
Pam Brown
Image
For the sake of the sons - and even for the son's future wives - a woman must keep a part of her mind and heart entirely for herself. Every family is better off with a wife and mother who can astonish and occasionally dewilder.
Pam Brown
Image
Mothers are the pivot on which the family spins, Mothers are the pivot on which the world spins.
Pam Brown
Image
Horses lend us the wings we lack.
Pam Brown
Image
From serenity comes gentleness, comes lasting strength.

The trouble with sharing one's bed with cats is that they'd rather sleep on you than beside you.

If you've only one breath left, use it to say thank you.
