People are not here to meet your expectations.
Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.
The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.
To love others you must love yourself...You can only give to others what you have yourself.
Learn to bend. It's better than breaking.
To this day I cannot see a bright daffodil, a proud gladiola, or a smooth eggplant without thinking of Papa. Like his plants and trees, I grew up as a part of his garden.
