I free myself from hatred through forgiveness and love.
I write from my soul. This is the reason that critics don't hurt me, because it is me.
They were strange books. They spoke about mercury, salt, dragons, and kings, and he didn't understand any of it.
Love doesn't limit itself to relationships: it is a celebration of life.
The true lover realizes that freedom is needed for loyalty to blossom.
Love cannot be held prisoner because it is a river and will overflow its banks.
Nobody plays this life with marked cards, so sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Do not expect anything in return, do not expect your efforts to be appreciated, your genius to be discovered, your love to be understood.
Love doesn't need to be understood, it needs to be demonstrated
Because there is a force that wants you to realize your Personal Legend; it whets your appetite with a taste of success
Tough times test your valor, persistence and ability to make decisions. They force you to fight for your dreams.
We all, at some point, grow old and acquire other qualities, and these can always be turned to good advantage.
If you think small, your world will be small. If you think big, your world will be big.
If you don't fear, the Unknown will be KIND to you
Lord, bless our week. Help us to take all the necessary risks to become the person we always wanted to be.
