It's all about how you feel, not how you look

Don't wait until people are dead to give them flowers.

Being gentle means forgiving yourself when you mess up. We should learn from our mistakes, but we shouldn't beat the tar out of ourselves over them. The past is just that, past. Learn what went wrong and why. Make amends if you need to. Then drop it and move on.

Instead of trying to blend in and be like everyone else, be proud of and celebrate your unique differences and qualities. A fruit salad is delicious precisely because each fruit maintains its own flavor.

Strong minds talk about ideas; weak minds talk about people.

Don't let your pride or a lack of courage stand in the way of saying you're sorry to people you may have offended.

Life is a mission, not a career. A career is a profession, a mission is a cause. A career asks, What's in it for me? A mission asks, How can I make a difference?

One of the few things that can't be recycled is wasted time.
