When I was very young, most of my childhood heroes wore capes, flew through the air, or picked up buildings with one arm. They were spectacular and got a lot of attention. But as I grew, my heroes changed, so that now I can honestly say that anyone who does anything to help a child is a hero to me.

Who you are inside is what helps you make and do everything in life.

It's a mistake to think that we have to be lovely to be loved by human beings or by God
