A good friend is a connection to life — a tie to the past, a road to the future.

Resilience — the ability to brush off pain.

The best friend is he that, when he wishes a person's good, wishes it for that person's own sake.

The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love.

If you look for perfection, you will never be satisfied.

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

You live out the confusions until they become clear.

The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play.

I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

I have stood on a mountain of no's for one yes.

The transformation of the heart is a wondrous thing, no matter how you land there.
