You learn the stuff of your life (sports, movies, traveling) ... that's not the essence of your existence, my relationships were always good. Now they have transcended (rise beyond).

I get pretty impatient with people who are able-bodied but are somehow paralyzed for other reasons.

For everyone who thought I couldn’t do it… for everyone who thought I shouldn’t do it… for everyone who said, ‘It’s impossible’… see you at the finish line!

When we turn our attention away from ourselves, our potential is limitless.

Even if your body doesn't work the way it used to, the heart and the mind and the spirit are not diminished.

In the face of adversity, hope often comes in the form of a friend who reaches out to us.

I have no bones to pick and no fight with society. And I'm willing to be and interested in being in the mainstream of society.
