And remember this most of all: when it is darkest, that is when you can see the stars most clearly.

I don't want it to appear that I'm standing up and saying I'm the expected one. That's a dangerous, ego-driven kind of thing.

It is not enough to know what you want, you must also know why you want it, and what you will do once you have it! All those elements impact the world around you and therefore must be considered.

There is no problem for which the instruction to love more is not the solution.

And remember this most of all: when it is darkest, that is when you can see the stars most clearly.

That the stars guide us, but do not compel us. It is our free will that determines the outcome of all things. God does impose his will on us, rather he makes it known and allows us to choose if we will follow it.

Perhaps it is our obligation to be noble before it is our obligation to be happy.
