This is my life. it is my one time to be me. i want to experience every good thing.

I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side, be an advocate for myself and others like me.

I encourage courtesy. To accept nothing less than courtesy, and to give nothing less than courtesy. If we accept being talked to any kind of a way, then we are telling ourselves we are not quite worth the best. And if we have the effrontery to talk to anybody with less than courtesy, we tell ourselves and the world we are not very intelligent.

It's a wonderful thing to know that there is something to know there is something greater than I am, and that is God itself.

Human beings love poetry. They don't even know it sometimes... whether they're the songs of Bono, or the songs of Justin Bieber... they're listening to poetry.

Have a purpose to your life: Purpose does not mean having a job...You can have a job and still be unfulfilled.

Determine to live life with flair and laughter.
