You can never go home again, but the truth is you can never leave home, so it's all right.

A great soul serves everyone all the time. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again.

Your life is much more important that you can imagine... it is your first treasure.

In an unfamiliar culture, it is wise to offer no innovations, no suggestions, or lessons.

I have forgiven myself; I'll make a change. Once that forgiveness has taken place you can console yourself with the knowledge that a diamond is the result of extreme pressure. Less pressure is crystal, less than that is coal, less than that is fossilized leaves or plain dirt. Pressure can change you into something quite precious, quite wonderful, quote beautiful and extremely hard.

Time itself is an individual gift. It is wise to cherish it carefully and give it away generously.

Remember this: When you cross my doorstep, you have already been raised. With what you have learned...you know the difference between right and wrong. Do right. Don't anybody raise you from the way you have been raised. Know you will have to make adaptations, in love, in relationships, in friends, in society, in work, but don't let anybody change your mind.
