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

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life.

“We must understand that sadness is an ocean, and sometimes we drown, while other days we are forced to swim.”

“I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.” 

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

Control anger before it controls you.

If your goals set you apart from the crowd. Stay alone.

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

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

“They are not your friend unless they have defended you in your absence.”

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”

“Dream, dream, dream. Dreams transform into thoughts and thoughts result in action.”
