. . .and every native has a story of winter – stories that usually begin, You call this a storm? And grow in the telling like battle tales shared by graying war veterans.

Richard Paul Evans
It's our memories that make us who we are. Without them, we're nothing. If that means we have to hurt sometimes, it's worth it.
Richard Paul Evans
. . . Harboring an emotion as powerful as gratitude has power of its own.
Richard Paul Evans
The depth of love is revealed in its departure.
Richard Paul Evans
In your hurry to keep Christmas, you have forgotten Christmas. The truest gift of Christmas is the gift of self.
Richard Paul Evans
Some people were born to work for others. Not in a mindless, servile-way--rather they simply work better in a set regimen of daily tasks and functions. Others were born of the entrepreneurial spirit and enjoy the demands of self-determination and the roll of the dice.
