Your child needs your presence more than your presents. – Jesse Jackson

“The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart.”

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

“Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself.”

“There are better people in the world, do not let the worst do the worst to you, you deserve the best in life.”

“If you think friendship is easy, then you have never had a true friend.”

Understand that consistency is essential; nothing is achieved without it.

“Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time.”

Be Kind, Have Grace, Give Thanks, Speak Love, and Stay Swaggy

“Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.”

Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do. (Pele)
