“But in life people come and go. We don't always have control over it. But we can control how we respond. We can keep going, keep living the best we can. We can love the people we have instead of shutting them out. We can do our best to get to know them in the time we have.”

“No matter how much we love someone, or think we know them, we can never know what it is like to be inside them.”

“We have plenty of room for people...in our lives, I mean. Especially the ones who make us be the people we want to be.”

“We don’t give up on our patients with diabetes because they can’t be cured. Instead, we do our best to control their symptoms as best we can and try to work with them to give them the best possible quality of life.”

“We have no control over fate and history, but we can control how we conduct ourselves in this life.”

“When we last out at ourselves for having lost control, we are reminded that we never can be in total control, that all life asks of us is to do our best to cope with what is handed to us.”

“If what they say is right we're none of us going to have time to do all that we planned to do. But we can keep on doing it as long as we can.”
