“Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.”

“I ask not for any crown  

But that which all may win;

Nor try to conquer any world

Except the one within.”

“The power of finding beauty in the humblest things makes home happy and life lovely.”

“A faithful friend is a strong defense;

And he that hath found him hath found a treasure.”

“I want to do something splendid…

Something heroic or wonderful that won’t be forgotten after I’m dead…

I think I shall write books.”

Tales from childhood: Before and after.

Good afternoon, people! I'm Timothy. I'm an orphan boy. I already said that I have become accustomed to my status.

"Your mother is very far away from you now. You can't call her or write a letter." someone told me.

I think my mother knows that I was able to find friends in the orphanage. Although of course I have problems, I solve them.

When I had a mother, I was a mama's boy. Then my mother died under unclear circumstances. Immediately I found myself here and I had to come to terms with a lot of things.

I had to stand up for myself in the group. No one was protecting me anymore.
