“.. i only live but once..life is beautiful..check your heart.. make amend..forgive and love...its the expression of how we must live..”

“How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one’s culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.”

“Only someone you loved could make you wear that kind of expression. Someone who had once loved you knew how to get to the part of you where the pain lived.”

“First, we must love the Lord with all our hearts, and we must love our children. Second, we must become a worthy example to them by continually seeking the Lord and striving to live the gospel. Third, we must teach our children the gospel and how to live its teachings.”

“So what? who cares what others think? It's your life, not their's. So get up, get out, and live your life the way you want to. We only live once.”

“YOLO means You Only Live Once, so instead of using it as an expression to do whatever you want, use it as an expression to live life right, because you only get one chance at life.”
