• Clayton," she said softly, her voice threaded with tears, "when Vanessa asked about my accomplishments tonight, I forgot to mention that I do have one. And it's--it's so splendid that it compensates for my lack of all the others." Stephen and Clayton grinned at each other, neither of them hearing the emotion that clogged her voice. "What splendid accomplishments is that, little one?" Clayton asked. Her shoulders hunched forward and began to shake. "I made you love me," she whispered brokenly.

• La vida tiene belleza para vender, todas las cosas bellas y espléndidas, olas azules blanqueadas en un acantilado, fuego que se eleva y canta, y las caras de los niños mirando hacia arriba, sosteniendo la maravilla como una copa. La vida tiene belleza que vender, Música como una curva de oro, Olor de pinos en la lluvia, Ojos que te aman, brazos que sostienen, Y para el deleite de tu espíritu, Pensamientos santos que estrellan la noche. Gasta todo lo que tienes por la belleza, Cómprala y nunca cuentes el costo; Por una blanca hora de paz Cuenta muchos años de lucha bien perdidos, Y por un soplo de éxtasis Da todo lo que has sido, o podrías ser.

• Vive tu vida mientras la tengas. La vida es un regalo espléndido. No hay nada pequeño en ella. Porque las cosas más grandes crecen por la Ley de Dios a partir de las más pequeñas. Pero para vivir tu vida debes disciplinarla. No debes desperdiciarla en "propósito justo, acto erróneo, voluntad inconstante", sino hacer que tus pensamientos, tus actos, todos trabajen para el mismo fin, y ese fin no es el yo, sino Dios. Eso es lo que llamamos carácter.
