The thorn from the bush one has planted, nourished and pruned pricks more deeply and draws more blood.

When you learn, teach, when you get, give.

Look what you've already come through! Don't deny it. You've already come through some things, which are very painful. If you've been alive until you're 35, you have gone through some pain. It cost you something. And you've come through it. So at least look at that. And have a sense to look at yourself and say, "Well, wait a minute. I'm stronger than I thought I was."

Everybody in the world wants the same thing...to be needed...a job that he/she can do well...to love somebody...Everybody...There's no mystery.

We are all creative, but by the time we are three of four years old, someone has knocked the creativity out of us. Some people shut up the kids who start to tell stories. Kids dance in their cribs, but someone will insist they sit still. By the time the creative people are ten or twelve, they want to be like everyone else.

Every day I awaken I am grateful. My intent is to be totally present in that day. And laugh as much as possible.

Every person needs to take one day away. A day in which one consciously separates the past from the future.
