Patience and tenacity of purpose are worth more than twice their weight of cleverness.

It is so easy to give, so exquisitely rewarding.

My life is full of mistakes. They’re like pebbles that make a good road.

Pain nourishes courage. You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you.

We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.

There are times when dreams sustain us more than facts.

In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.

We are all afraid to say too much, to feel too deeply, to let people know what they mean to us.

The reward for conformity is that everyone likes you but yourself.

Compassion is one of the purest springs of love.

You can't shake hands with a clenched fist.

The man of faith, of energy, of warmth… steps in and does something.
