I am a woman phenomenally, phenomenal woman that is your grandmother, that is your mother, that is your sister, that is you and that is me.

We can be better, we can be wiser, we can be more kind. Yes we have to change. We have to grow up and stop acting like 10 years old. Yes there is much to do, much to see, much to go into.

Wouldn't take nothing for my journey now.

I can see in the acorn the oak tree. I see the growth, the rebuilding, the restoring. I see that is the American psyche. There is so much we can draw understanding from. One of the lessons is the development of courage. Because without courage, you can't practice any of the other virtues consistently.

The children to whom we read simple stories may or may not show gratitude, but each boon we give strengthens the pillars of the world.

Thank you, always say thank you; it's the greatest gift you can give someone; because thank you is what you say to God.

Life is going to give you just what you put in it. Put your whole heart in everything you do, and pray, then you can wait.
