Family is essential because we all yearn to feel like we belong to something greater than ourselves.

Love sets your heart free. Be not afraid: dig deep, Take a deep breath And reach for the sky In your lover's heart.

Deeply in love with you, I feel the keen pain of your absence.

Never become too busy for your brother or your sister. For when your parents die, it is your hearts alone that will realize how the joys and pains of family have shaped your lives.

When a child is born, there are two births. The birth of the child and the birth of the mother.

Know your lover and what delights him or her, but also what he/she considers inappropriate. After all, you want to whet their appetite and create excitement, rather than make them upset.

You are your child's keeper until she's mature enough to keep herself.
