Remember to look at your glass half full and not half empty. A lot of my strength comes from God. God has given me a gift - the gift of life - and it's amazing that I live each day.

I want to be remembered as a poet, a peacemaker, and a philosopher who played.

Unity is strength... when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.

I want to keep publishing books, and writing and spreading my heartsong through the world.

Sometimes my body wakes me up and says 'Hey, you haven't had pain in a while. How about pain?' And sometimes I can't breathe, and that's hard to live with. But I still celebrate life and don't give up.

You can't lie down in the ashes of another person's life.

While we are living in the present, we must celebrate life every day, knowing that we are becoming history with every work, every action, every deed.
