“You cannot drive people to do things which are right, but you can love them into doing them, if your example is of such a character that they can see you mean what you say.”

“If someone loves you for what you can do then it's flattering, but why do you love them? If someone loves you for who you are then they have to know you, which means you have to know them.”

“You need to remember the best legacy you can give your kids is an example of a life well lived. They may listen to what you say, but they will do what you do. If you tell them to take care of yourself but you don't do it yourself, what kind of message are you sending?”

“Love does strange things to you sometimes. It can twist you into saying and doing things that you know you’ll regret and still, you do them.”

“What people say you cannot do, you try and find that you can.”

“Do you know how some people can do anything?”“What do you mean?”“I mean, you tell them to write a tune, they give you a symphony right there. You tell them to write a book, they write you a novel in a day. You tell them to move a spoon without touching it, they move it. If they want something, they make it happen. Miracles, almost.”
