A gift involves sacrifice. If you give away something that you no longer value or want, it cannot be a gift. It is simply a discarded item.

For most people, art is only valuable if other people say it is; and artists are only worthwhile if they are either rich and famous, or dead.

Of what value is your life, unless you are willing to sacrifice it for those you love?

Do not delude yourself, tomorrow is not guaranteed; and even if good fortune brings you your tomorrow, there is no guarantee those you love will be a part of it. Do not squander your precious, limited time. Value what love you have in your life - nothing is more valuable. Make it known to those who matter.

The value of our lives is measured by our capacity to love others.
