The greatest gift you can open is your heart to someone in need.

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.

Man as a thief cannot enjoy life he can only steal, kill and destroy harmony of society.

Chase every rung of possibility, and you still get absolutely nowhere.

Everything changes but change itself.

Somehow, I never feel like good things b'long to me till I pass 'em on to somebody else.

I let people see the cracks in my life. We can't be phony. We've got to keep it real.

It isn't where you came from, its where you're going that counts.

I grew up on Don Knotts and Jerry Lewis and all the guys from Second City.

We should remember that just as a positive outlook on life can promote good health, so can everyday acts of kindness.

A story does that: it will reach out and hook somebody and hold them for just a few moments while you unpack this story in their presence.

I won't talk about someone's mother. I won't talk about their girlfriend or their wife, but if you have a deformity, I would talk about that.
