To the world, you are a mother, to your family you are the world.

“You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.”

“To tell someone not to be emotional is to tell them to be dead.”

“Good friends are like stars. You don’t always see them, but you know they’re always there.”

“The word ‘happy’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.”

“You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.”

Easy is to judge the mistakes of others. Difficult is to realize your own mistakes.

“You only live one but if you do it right, once is enough.”

“Gratitude is one of the most powerful human emotions. Once expressed, it changes attitude, brightens outlook, and broadens our perspective.”

“If it’s important you’ll find a way. If it’s not, you’ll find an excuse.”

Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.

Other things may change us, but we start and end with the family.
