“Strength of character comes from being hit by stray verbal stones, while protecting discarded ciphers in the snow.”

“The art of being wise is the art of knowing that solutions don’t come from individuals, but rather experiences.”

“Every relationship that has hit a crossroads has asked, “What is it that you want from me?”

“Why would anyone want perfection when growth comes from flaws?”

“When criticism doesn't make sense, it is usually coming from a different place.”

“I am tired of people saying that poor character is the only reason people do wrong things. Actually, circumstances cause people to act a certain way. It's from those circumstances that a person's attitude is affected followed by weakening of character. Not the reverse. If we had no faults of our own, we should not take so much pleasure in noticing those in others and judging their lives as either black or white, good or bad. We all live our lives in shades of gray.”

“It is not love that keeps us stuck in the past. Love fades over time. What introspective hearts seek is simply unanswered questions about why terrible things can happen to very good people. Closure never comes from reflection. It only comes from God's guidance and promptings.”
