Filipinos don't wallow in what is miserable and ugly. They recycle the bad into things of beauty.

The Reagans were dear friends for many years, even when he was governor of California. Nancy appreciated a lot of Philippine-made things.

I always say you can never be extravagant with beauty. Beauty is God made real. Beauty is life.

I will not say sorry and be pardoned for doing a godly act.

In the material world, where everything is valued, when you commit yourself to God, beauty and love, it can be mistaken for extravagance.

My dreams have become puny with the reality my life has become.

I get my fingers in all our pies. Before you know it, your little fingers including all your toes are in all the pies.
