[سارة]

Natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study

This very remarkable man
Commends a most practical plan:

So don’t think you can’t think you can.

'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'

'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.
'--so long as I get somewhere,' Alice added as an explanation

I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.

Henry Ward Beecher
