“WELCOME HOME, FOLKSWE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT”

“You don't know which way a thing will come at you, but you need to welcome it with your whole heart which ever way it arrives.”

“My father always told me that in this world we are going to make a truckload of mistakes, but the best mistake we can ever make is to err on the side of mercy”

“...It isn't the problems along the way that make us or break us. It's how we learn to stand and face them that makes the difference.”

“Some things go too deep for words.”

“I'll tell you something about tough things. They just about kill you, but if you decide to keep working at them, you'll find the way through. On the Food Network they have these shows where cooks have to put a meal together with all these weird ingredients. That's a lot like my life-dealing with things you wouldn't think ever go together. But a good cook can make the best meal out of the craziest combinations.”

“When the going gets tough, the tough get a librarian.”
