A heart will say amazing things if it's given half a chance.

The choices we make can have lasting consequences.

Sometimes the best thing that can happen to a person is to have a puppy lick your face.

I'll tell you something about tough times. They just about kill you, but if you decide to keep working at them, you'll find your way through.

And we learned that you don't have to be famous or rich or physically healthy to be a leader. You just have to try to be a true person. We learned that helping other people brings out the good in everybody.

You don't understand how much light you have until the lights go out.

I hope you'll have the kind of life where what you stand for is so important that it makes some people outright hostile. You won't know how strong your beliefs really are until you have to defend them.
