Life is like an onion. You peel it off one layer at a time,... - Carl Sandburg

"Time is the coin of your life. You spend it. Do not allow others to spend it for you."

"Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you."

"Gather the stars if you wish it soGather the songs and keep them.Gather the faces of women.Gather for keeping years and years.And then...Loosen your hands, let go and say good-bye.Let the stars and songs go.Let the faces and years go.Loosen your hands and say good-bye."

"A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on."

"Life is like an onion; you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep."
