Knowledge is the path, understanding is the way, wisdom is the highway, and enlightenment is the destination.

A genuine smile is one of the world’s rarest treasures.

A fish that is afraid of drowning in a river is ignorant of its gifts.

A diamond earns its sparkle from the pressure it endures.

It is in the storm, not the calm, that a rainbow is born.

A determined seed cannot be hidden from the world, not even by dirt.

Calm skies don't make skillful eagles.

If you cry in the rain, only the sky will see your tears.

Birds keep singing beautiful songs, even if they have no audience.

Today's storms help you appreciate tomorrow’s sunshine.

Train the ears to hear more, the eyes to see more, the hands to do more, the feet to accomplish more, the mind to think more, the heart to feel more, and the soul to love more.

I close my eyes, then I drift away, into the magic night I softly say. A silent prayer, like dreamers do, then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you.

Of course God will forgive me that's His job.

All the effort went into getting there and then I had nothing left. I thought I'd got somewhere, then I found I had to go on.

I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.

I'll always thank the Lord when my working day is through, I get my sweet reward to be alone with you.

I cannot live with you, It would be life, And life is over there Behind the shelf

I couldn't say there is a formula to songwriting. Each time is a unique experience.

Love is the sun, desire - only flash.

When you hug someone you want it to be a masterpiece of connection, the way the button on his coat will leave the imprint of a planet in my cheek when I walk away.

Real Madrid is the most important thing that happened to me, both as a footballer and as a person.
