"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

"I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it."

Touched by An Angel

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.

"The honorary duty of a human being is to love. "

"If you don't like something change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain."

"Love is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it allows me to survive, and better than that, to thrive with passion, compassion, and style."

"A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song."
