Physical appearance has nothing to do with the quality of a person.
When you let go of the past, but the stupid past won’t let go of you.
When the person holding you back is removed – the criticizer of your work and dreams – it is staggering what more you can do. And when another comes along to actively cheer you on, watch your potential expand a hundred-fold.
Darkness doesn’t fall over the face of the land. It is always there, hidden and lurking, waiting for the light to leave. That is why you must feed your light. Keep it constantly burning. Never neglect it, even for a minute.

Contention is a bile that when stirred becomes malevolence.
Vengeance has no rules. It has no heart, no conscience, no dignity, and no true allies.
Yes, there is a type of love that never dies, that never grows old or weary. It is selfless and unconditional. It is the love of goodly parents.
The past exists to make us appreciative, aware, and wise. It is a lesson, nothing more.
Love thy neighbor as thyself,” Christ said. Neither more than nor less than, but as thyself. It seems that to love thy neighbor whole-heartedly, one must love thyself whole-heartedly. Without selflove, it is a tricky task to try and love others.
Death concludes a mortal life, but it does not end an eternal relationship. Those whom we love and those who love us in return, they never go away. They are unseen but perceived by the spirit. They are unobserved but concerned with our success in this life. They stand beside us, cheering us on every day, extending everlasting love.
