“I think you don't grow up until you stop worrying about other people's purposes or lack of them and find the purposes you believe in for yourself.”

“You can't think on purpose about somebody or something. Either you think about them naturally or you don't think at all.”

“Find out who you are and figure out what you believe in. Even if it's different from what your neighbors believe in and different from what your parents believe in. Stay true to yourself. Have your own opinion. Don't worry about what people say about you or think about you. Let the naysayers nay. They will eventually grow tired of naying.”

“Worry has everything to do with lack of faith, and lack of faith has a lot to do with not believing in yourself as much as you believe in others.”

“The secret to your purpose is to find what you feel is important, and not pursue what others would think is important. When you think highly of yourself, me thinking highly of you will never be enough!”

“Stop worrying about growing old. And think about growing up.”
