Peace is the way, not the destination.

He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.

If you spend your time hoping someone will suffer the consequences for what they did to your heart, then you're allowing them to hurt you a second time in your mind.

There comes a time in your life when you have to choose to turn the page, write another book or simply close it.

A true gentleman is one that apologizes anyways, even though he has not offended a lady intentionally. He is in a class all of his own because he knows the value of a woman's heart.

A best friend is the only one that walks into your life when the world has walked out.

Don't be afraid to wake up your dream... give it a hard nudge, a toss of cold water... make it leap, make it fly. Dreams won't come to life without action.

Life and situations will never improve to the point when living a dream becomes most conducive...honestly

I read somewhere that when you're a kid it's people's cruelty that makes you cry, then when you're an adult it's their kindness.

That's right, kid. Never play an ace if a two will do.

I turned off my Google alerts in 2009 as I learnt that following yourself on the Internet very quickly becomes unhealthy.

Live never to be ashamed if anything you say or do is published around the world, even if what is said is not true.

Everyone in my office wears it all winter, it's our uniform because it's the easiest thing to wear.

I am climbing to the top Of the tallest darkest tree I need to know Where heaven stops What lies Beyond the dream
