“If you can't be honest with your friends and colleagues and loved ones, then what is life all about?”

“You know that you're a true friend when somebody says "But what about that wart on the end of his nose?" and your honest response is "What wart?". You see true friends accept you for what you are, wart and all.”

“Can I tell you honestly that I'd rather be in your life as your friend than nothing at all?”

“Nothing could be any worse than having to turn to your friends, your colleagues and your loved ones and say –‘I gave up too soon’.”

“Trust. That was what this was all about. If you can't trust the one you love, you don't have anything.”

“This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.”
