Exhorting a foolish person to be patient and not to despond, as it is quite certain that circumstances will change for the better.
THIS SITE IS DEDICATED ENTIRELY TO MY DAUGHTER KATI BRAITHWAITE.
WITHOUT KATE, MY NEED FOR DAILY READINGS AND GUIDANCE WOULD BE SO MUCH LESS THAN IT IS. TO YOU, KATE, WITH LOVE. YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION AND MOTIVATION.
She is a woman, and nothing is unpossible. — Gasc, Gl. of Gov., ii. 3.
