Stars shine even for those who refuse to look up.

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.

A goal will always tell you where you don't want to be.

Fandom can keep something alive, and fandom can take it down.

As actors, we want to challenges ourselves and put ourselves in different situations to see how we react and deliver a performance.

A writer's work often reflects what he or she has been exposed to in life; experiences which are the groundwork of a poem or a story.

I love Christmas. Frosty the Snowman, peace on Earth and mangers, Salvation Army bell ringers and reindeer, the movie 'Meet Me in St. Louis,' office parties and cookies.

I paint the way someone bites his fingernails; for me, painting is a bad habit because I don't know nor can I do anything else.

We've never managed, either one of us, to get all the way into life. We're hanging on to the outside for all we're worth, convinced we're going to fall off at the next bump.

Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably.
