... If the dead can come back to this earth and move unseen around those they loved, I shall always be near you; in the garish day and in the darkest night—amidst your happiest scenes and gloomiest hours—always, always; and if there be a soft breeze upon your cheek, it shall be my breath; or if the cool air fans your throbbing temple, it shall be my spirit passing by. ↗

Housework is a breeze. Cooking is a pleasant diversion. Putting up a retaining wall is a lark. But teaching is like climbing a mountain. ↗

There's no point in swanning through and being cool as a breeze in every scene. It's not really that interesting. Even if you're a superhero. ↗

Success soon palls. The joyous time is when the breeze first strikes your sails, and the waters rustle under your bows. ↗
