Ruins, for me, are the beginning. With the debris, you can construct new ideas.

That's the very reason they put rubbers on the end of pencils... because people make mistakes.

Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others.

My heart is unlimited in the amount of love, but it is limited in the passion and commitment.

Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses, and disappointments.

The struggle, like life itself, should be joyful.

The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us.

How very little can be done under the spirit of fear.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

We are all afraid to say too much, to feel too deeply, to let people know what they mean to us.

There’s nothing so kingly as kindness, and nothing so royal as truth.
