“A genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day-to-day lives.”

“If a child smiles, if an adult smiles, that is very important. If in our daily lives we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. If we really know how to live, what better way to start the day than with a smile? Our smile affirms our awareness and determination to live in peace and joy. The source of a true smile is an awakened mind.”

“Every day is important for us because it is a day ordained by God. If we are bored with life there is something wrong with our concept of God and His involvement in our daily lives. Even the most dull and tedious days of our lives are ordained by God and ought to be used by us to glorify Him.”

“Teaching our children to live a quiet, sane, and balanced life is one of the most important parental tasks of our day.”

“A rainy day can actually be a very important day. And a small hope isn't really small if it makes a lost hope less sad.”

“You’re such an ass. Has…anyone ever told you that?”He flashed a genuinely amused smile. “Oh, Kitten, every single day of my blessed life.”
