Love is life. And if you miss love you miss life.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend my world.

Let go. Why do you cling to pain? There is nothing you can do about the wrongs of yesterday. It is not yours to judge. Why hold on to the very thing which keeps you from hope and love?

We need to learn to let go as easily as we grasp and we will find our hands full and our minds empty.

I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate - it's apathy. It's not giving a damn.

Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly, and without expectation. We don't love to be loved, we love to love.

We all need each other.

The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.

Change is the end result of all true learning.

Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.

Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time... It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.

Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.

It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch a smile a kind word a listening ear an honest compliment or the smallest act of caring all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow it only saps today of its joy.

I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.

What love we've given we'll have forever. What love we fail to give will be lost for all eternity.

I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be. You can also stop and say 'No, I won't do it, I won't behave his way anymore. I'm lonely and I need people around me, maybe I have to change my methods of behaving' and then you do it.

Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.

Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.

Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized.

Love always creates it never destroys. In this lie's man's only promise.

I've always thought that people need to feel good about themselves and I see my role as offering support to them to provide some light along the way.

Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's smile at someone and receive a smile in return are to me continual spiritual exercises.

If I don't have wisdom I can teach you only ignorance.

Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.
