“Hope was never meant to beA future shared alone,As life cannot be won or lostIt was never ours to own.”

“Spread your wings. Fly as far to know who you are.”

“Know yourself, not a face, in love, a deeper grace.”

“I wish for all who look for Gold,Shall find one letter less,A world where trying always wins,And leaves the loser blessed.”

“Is it not enough to shine,To know that friends are true?That love is born of friendship,And who you are is you?”

“Life Is a Gift from God.We hold from God the gift which includes all others. This gift is life -- physical, intellectual, and moral life. But life cannot maintain itself alone. The Creator of life has entrusted us with the responsibility of preserving, developing, and perfecting it. In order that we may accomplish this, He has provided us with a collection of marvelous faculties. And He has put us in the midst of a variety of natural resources. By the application of our faculties to these natural resources we convert them into products, and use them. This process is necessary in order that life may run its appointed course. Life, faculties, production--in other words, individuality, liberty, property -- this is man. And in spite of the cunning of artful political leaders, these three gifts from God precede all human legislation, and are superior to it. Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.”

“You deserve a man who makes you feel butterflies. Love isn't safe. Love is crazy and scary and unpredictable. You can't control it and you sure as hell can't fight it. It's one of life's greatest risks...but it's also one of life's greatest gifts.”
