“It has been said, ‘time heals all wounds.’ I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.” ~ Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, July 22, 1890 – January 22, 1995

“I tried to allow my children to take risks, to test themselves. Better broken bones than broken spirit.” ~ Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, July 22, 1890 – January 22, 1995

“I have come to the conclusion that the most important element in human life is faith. If God were to take away all His blessings, health, physical fitnes, wealth, intelligence, and leave me but one gift, I would ask for faith –- for with faith in Him, in His goodness, mercy, love for me, and belief in everlasting life, I believe I could suffer the loss of my other gifts and still be happy….” ~ Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, July 22, 1890 – January 22, 1995
