It’s a fool who thinks having a kid is a right, which is the biggest crock of fish heads I’ve ever heard.

Just because you're breathing, doesn't mean you're alive.

Becoming a man means doing the right thing even though it may be hard or difficult. Boys do what is easiest. A man does what is right, whether easy or not.

Only you can know the difference between your wants and your needs, and your sacrifice of your life's time to both.

Send the light of your own loving ahead of you. When you get there, the loving will have prepared a place for you. Be kind, gentle, and enjoy the journey.

Love and you shall be loved. All love is mathematically just, as much as two sides of an algebraic equation.
