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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

If we wish to free ourselves from enslavement, we must choose freedom and the responsibility this entails.

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.
