ON CHILDREN

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

“Success is not only for the elite. Success is there for those who want it, plan for it, and take action to achieve it.”

“You have to dream before your dreams can come true.”

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

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

“A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.”

“If you get tired, learn to rest not to quit!”

“Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.”

Never regret being a good person, to the wrong people. Your behavior says everything about you, and their behavior says enough about them.

Learn to value yourself, which means: fight for your happiness.

“Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn’t stop for anybody.”
