“Sunsets, like childhood, are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful but because they are fleeting.”

“Some people in this world have stopped looking for beauty, then wonder why their lives are so ugly. Don't be like them. The ability to appreciate beauty is of God. Especially in one another.

And in the end, we must ask ourselves what we have given our children to take its place. And is it enough?”

“I have learned a great truth of life. We do not succeed in spite of our challenges anddifficulties, but rather, precisely because of them.”
