I am thankful that there are those among us who have sacrificed dearly on behalf of us. And I ardently pray to God that I might be less like myself and more like them.

The adult within me would be much wiser to learn from the child within me rather than focus on the demand that the child within me grow up.

Genius is creating something and constructing within it the ability to build on itself in order to become what it was created to be, and as a result of that very process, never find an end to the creating.

Our experiences are the building blocks of the future hewn out of the granite of the present.

If you’re not growing, you’re not living.

It is in building the best of our abilities that we ultimately destroy the worst of our liabilities.

We would prefer all gain and no loss in life, yet that would gain us nothing more than great loss.
