My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness.

-
Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.
- We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell.
- Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
- You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
- Find out who you are and do it on purpose.
- Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.
- Faith is the first factor in a life devoted to service. Without it, nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible.
