Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.

When someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times.

Accept who you are; and revel in it.

Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Nothing haunts us like the things we don't say.

Don't cling to things because everything is impermanent.

Let your infectious smile infect the whole world with love and joy.

The sun is a-wait at the ponderous gate of the West.
