“Life is not a transcript. This isn't a test you can ace or fail. You can get Cs and Ds and still be okay.”

“Who are you? Just because you break heartsdoesn't make you a heartbreaker.Just because you get straight A'sdoesn't make you a success.Just because you have a college consultantdoesn't make you college bound.Just because you fail to actdoesn't make you cowardly.Just because you need help,doesn't make you weak.Just because the world sees you as somethingor as nothingdoesn't mean anythingat all.”

“You can achieve anything you want in life if you have the courage to dream it, the intelligence to make a realistic plan, and the will to see the plan through to the end.”

“You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't wipe your friends off on a saddle.”

“In dreams you can become everything you're not. You can reverse the most fundamental truths of your life. You can taste death, the ultimate opposite.”

“You don't accomplish much by swimming with the mainstream. Hell, a dead fish can do that.”

“Money will buy you a fine dog, but only love can make it wag its tail.”
