Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.

The first thing I do in the morning when I awaken is say, 'Thank you, Lord!' I'm grateful to be alive, and I'm going to try to tell the truth as well as I know and tell it as eloquently as I can so that people can hear it.

One must learn to care for oneself first, so that one can then dare to care for someone else.

You have to deal with what you encounter. But you must not be reduced. And so a way not to be reduced is don't whine! Don't let the incidents which take place in life bring you low.

And when great souls die, after a period peace blooms, slowly and always irregularly. Spaces fill with a kind of soothing electric vibration. Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us. They existed. They existed. We can be. Be and be better. For they existed.

Just like moons and suns, With certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise.

Listen to yourself and in that quietude you might hear the voice of God.
