Lasting Legacies


"There are 2 lasting legacies we can give our children. One of these is roots; the other, wings."

"I long to put the experience of 50 years at once into your young lives, to give you at once the key of that TREASURE chamber every gem of which has cost me tears and struggles and prayers, but you must work for these inward TREASURES yourself." -Harriet Beecher Stowe

"A cheerful giver does not count the cost of what she gives. Her heart is set on pleasing and cheering the one to whom the gift is given." - Julian of Norwich

"You may not be able to leave your children a great inheritance, but day by day you may be weaving coats for them which they will wear through all eternity." - T.L. Cuyler
