Starting the day - Another chance to be new again.How many of us still wish for that?To be your own sunrise.To awaken like a prayer - both solemn and joyful at still being alive.

Your time is your time. Be awake to it. It's hard work to be wisely alive.

Sunrise - a time when all truths are still clean and enviable.

Remember, it’s still a mystery to be an adult. If you knew it all before eighteen, you’d have nothing to look forward to. Besides, to be wise and eighteen is as possible as catching lightning in a bottle…

Dream young. Don't settle for old - for to be old is to be superstitious and without curiosity and always questioning your faith. And be ferocious in your dreaming - run like a sun's explosion, and skip across bluing waves, and dance upon tips of swan feathers.

As I see it, you GET married - but you MAKE a marriage.

You become a man when, in having children, you not only physically look after and protect them but also protect them with all the love and learning you have to give.

Just because you're breathing, doesn't mean you're alive.

Be generous with your life - love deeply, honestly, and without reservation.
