Death is the great transition.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of those depths.

People are like stained - glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.

Death is but a transition from this life to another existence where there is no more pain and anguish. All the bitterness and disagreements will vanish, and the only thing that lives forever is love.

There is within each one of us a potential for goodness beyond our imagining; for giving which seeks no reward; for listening without judgment; for loving unconditionally.

We think sometimes we're only drawn to the good, but we're actually drawn to the authentic. We like people who are real more than those who hide their true selves under layers of artificial niceties

When life puts you through a tumbler, it's your choice whether you come out polished or crushed.

I've told my children that when I die, to release balloons in the sky to celebrate that I graduated. For me, death is a graduation.

You are not a powerless speck of dust drifting around in the wind...we are, each of us, like beautiful snowflakes-unique, and born for a specific reason and purpose.

Watching a peaceful death of a human being reminds us of a falling star; one of a million lights in a vast sky that flares up for a brief moment only to disappear into the endless night forever.

Make enthusiasm a way of life. Make optimism a way of success. Make gratitude a way of happiness.

I trade all my pains for the peace of God.

Plan for the sustainability of your success so that you do not drift back to failure and mediocrity.

An enduring belief in light rises above the darkness of night.

You can be confident and secure and know that you do a good job at what you do but you don't have to be arrogant about it.

That is the problem with being twelve. All the grown-ups think they have a right to know your business.

maybe i am doing right, maybe i am doing wrong but at least i'm trying

You can't fight fire with fire, or fear with fear.

We are more powerful, more knowledgeable, better prepared than we think we ever are.

The truth will set you free. Either that or it'll get you a punch in the nose.
