I observed a thousand acts of courage, compassion and love [as a POW] and I will always treasure that memory above all others.
Even the simplest wicker basket can become priceless when it is loved and cared for through the generations of a family.
You were a summer gift, one I'll always treasure. You were a dream I never wanted to wake up from. You opened my eyes to things I'll never really see. You're the best thing that will ever happen to me.
I kept it for myself like a keepsake, as if sharing the memory might lead to its dissipation.
When you don't do something anymore, all of a sudden everyone treasures it.
It's the first hat trick of my career, so I will treasure the match ball.
I would not, if I could, give up the memory of the joy I have had in books for any advantage that could be offered in other pursuits or occupations. Books have been to me what gold is to the miser, what new fields are to the explorer.
A piece that is extremely close to my heart is a gold ring with bouts of mint and baby pink that my grandfather gave to my mother and she passed it down to me. What's sweet is that it has my grandparent's name on the flipside.
Into my heart's treasury I slipped a coin That Time cannot take Nor a thief purloin- O better than the minting Of a gold-crowned king Is the safe-kept memory Of a lovely thing.
