You know the greatest thing is passion, without it what have you got?

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

The choice to love is the choice to connect — to find ourselves in the other.

Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it.

Only love can heal the wounds of the past.

The present is the only time in which any duty can be done or any grace received.

In most things success depends on knowing how long it takes to succeed.

Love is something that if you give it away, you end up having more.

Once you realize that you can do something, it would be difficult to live with yourself if you didn’t do it.
