“Grace isn't a little prayer you chant before receiving a meal. It's a way to live.”

“I'll tell you this. Leaving that which you love breaks your heart open. But you will find a jewel inside, and this precious jewel is the opening of your heart to all that is new and all that is different, and it will be the making of you-if you allow it to be.” ― Jacqueline Winspear, Leaving Everything Most Loved
“Coincidence is a messenger sent by truth.” ― Jacqueline Winspear
“Truth walks toward us on the paths of our questions...as soon as you think you have the answer, you have closed the path and may miss vital new information. Wait awhile in the stillness, and do not rush to conclusions, no matter how uncomfortable the unknowing.” ― Jacqueline Winspear, Maisie Dobbs
“Shame, isn’t it? That we only like our heroes out in the street when they are looking their best and their uniforms are ‘spit and polished,’ and not when they’re showing us the wounds they suffered on our behalf.” ― Jacqueline Winspear, Maisie Dobbs
“Memories are links in a golden chain that bind us until we meet again.” ― Jacqueline Winspear, Maisie Dobbs
“The extraordinary hides behind the camouflage of the ordinary. Assume nothing, Maisie.” ― Jacqueline Winspear, Maisie Dobbs
“Coincidence is a messenger sent by the truth." [Dr. Maurice Blanche]” ― Jacqueline Winspear, Maisie Dobbs
“There is nothing of which every man is so afraid, as getting to know how enormously much he is capable of doing and becoming.” ― Jacqueline Winspear, Maisie Dobbs
“Wolfgang von Goethe:"A man can stand anything, except a succession of ordinary days.” ― Jacqueline Winspear, A Lesson in Secrets
“My child, when a mountain appears on the journey, we try to go to the left, then to the right. We try to find the easy way to navigate our way back to the easier path.…. But the mountain is there to be crossed. It is on that pilgrimage, as we climb higher, that we are forced to shed the layers upon layers we have carried for so long. Then we find that our load is lighter, and we have come to know something of ourselves in the perilous climb…..Do not seek to avoid the mountain, my child. For it has been placed there at a perfect time. It will only become larger if you seek to delay or draw back from the ascent. ” ― Jacqueline Winspear, Pardonable Lies
“She would not allow someone for whom she had so little regard to have a negative effect on her mood at the start of a new week. -Pardonable Lies” ― Jacqueline Winspear
“Never judge a journey by the distance...” ― Jacqueline Winspear, Birds of a Feather
“Thus a day that had seen so many tears ended in the midst of a rainbow.” ― Jacqueline Winspear, Maisie Dobbs
“And it occurred to her that she was so used to turning over everything in her mind, as if each thought were an intricate shell found at the beach, that she had never truly known the value of simply accepting things as they were.” ― Jacqueline Winspear, Elegy for Eddie
“Though there had yet to be a victor in this great war that had begun almost three years ago, Maurice had written to her that they had, all of them, on all sides, lost their freedom. Freedom to think hopefully of the future.” ― Jacqueline Winspear, Maisie Dobbs
“. . . if the way ahead is not clear, time is often the best editor of one's intentions.” ― Jacqueline Winspear, The Mapping of Love and Death
“Truth walks towards us on the paths of our questions." [Dr. Maurice Blanche]” ― Jacqueline Winspear, Maisie Dobbs
“I’m not really interested in the black and white, the 'goodies and baddies.' I find the complexity of the gray areas more compelling, more intriguing. As I have said before, there are angels and demons in all of us, and I am interested in the relationship between the two within the ‘ordinary’ person.” ― Jacqueline Winspear
