Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

Grief is the price we pay for love.

Vision is the art of seeing things invisible.

Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.

Great necessities call out great virtues.

The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us.

The struggle, like life itself, should be joyful.

Let frustration fuel inspiration.

Vulnerability is important. You can’t let your skin get too thick.

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