Life is the greatest chance that has been given to all of us. So how do you choose to live your life? You’ve got a pen. Write it down.

People come and go in this lifetime. Some merely pass us by. Some stay with us for a little while. Some leave as quickly as they come. However, when real friends come, they stay and never leave.

I choose to be a victor, and not a victim of change.

Change is uncomfortable and awkward at first. It has a ripping effect on those who refuse to go along with it. It is not fixed by crying, or worrying, or wallowing in self-pity and mental anguish.

Change can only work in two ways – for the better, or for the worst. Yet, regardless of whatever manner in which change comes into our lives, what matters is how we view it and how we react to it.

It is said that ‘Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder’. I say, ‘Perfection lies in the heart of the receiver.

Even if all our senses fail to function − eyes turn blind and ears fail to listen − the heart will still listen, see and beat.

Since we have to make choices in life, why not choose the good ones?

Let us keep on dreaming and instead of saying “I wish” and waiting for it to happen, have the courage to say “I will” and make it come true.

Dream, live it and make it happen! As impossible as it may look and sound, this kind of thinking and attitude are what will keep us going.

Keep on dreaming. Keep on believing. It is free. And it is a choice.

Nobody knows how things will turn out, that's why they go ahead and play the game...You give it your all and sometimes amazing things happen, but it's hardly ever what you expect.

You’re never too old, never too bad, never too late and never too sick to start from the scratch once again.

Conscience is the inner voice which warns us that someone might be looking. Hear and you forget, see and you remember, do and you understand.

Faithfulness and sincerity first of all.

Farewell to ye all! In the land of the stranger I rise or I fall.

I was just mind-blown to find that New Orleans is just so much more fun and interesting than I had ever thought.

Orange and speckled and fluted nudibranchs slide gracefully over the rocks, their skirts waving like the dresses of Spanish dancers.

I do portraits. I usually do live models in a class environment, but I've been painting at home more. I really love the human form, and I love faces. I've tried to do landscapes a few times.

There's not a conspiracy to prevent really good writing from being found You have to have the humility to fail over and over and over.

I'm singing, you know, because I'm happy and I'm free.
