Choose love. Teach love. And never lose your curiosity.

The one thing I would tell everyone - myself included - would be to just chill out. Life, by design, provides us with plenty of drama without us having to augment it and invent more. Just chill.

That same intense, overpowering, and all-encompassing love that you feel for your family can also be utterly terrifying.

Be bold. Be kind. Be brave.

Create the world you want to see.

Come let us give a little time to folly ... and even in a melancholy day let us find time for an hour of pleasure.

Helping others is perhaps the greatest joy! You cannot have a perfect day without helping others with no thought of getting something in return.

Stop fighting and learn how to communicate honestly with each other.
