There are friends, there is family, and then there are friends that become family.

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

Believing in negative thoughts is the single greatest obstruction to success.

“Whatever life gives you, even if it hurts, just be strong and act like you’re okay. Strong walls shake but never collapse.”

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

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

“A friend is one who overlooks your broken fence and admires the flowers in your garden.”

Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.

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

“Don’t worry about those who talk behind your back, they are behind you for a reason.”

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

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

You have to remember that the hard days are what make you stronger.
