Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.
You’ve got to follow your passion. You’ve got to figure out what it is you love – who you really are. And have the courage to do that. I believe that the only courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow your own dreams.
If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.

Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.
Trust is the glue of life. It’s the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It’s the foundational principle that holds all relationships.
The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.
Happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors.
That old law about ‘an eye for an eye’ leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.
I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel your feelings.
