When something undesirable grows in my soul, I ask God to give me the courage to mercilessly pluck it out.

Sometimes it is impossible to stop the river of life.

Because we managed to keep our heart open, despite the pain. Because we realized that the person who left us did not take the sun with them or leave darkness in their place.

Judging oneself to be inferior to other people was one of the worst acts of pride because it was the most destructive way of being different.

Anyone who has known happiness will never again be able humbly to accept sadness.

Respect your body: you can only climb a mountain if you give your body the attention it deserves. You have all the time that life grants you, as long as you walk without demanding what can't be granted. If you go too fast you will grow tired and give up half way there. If you go too slow, night will fall and you will be lost. Enjoy the scenery, take delight in the cool spring water and the fruit that nature generously offers you, but keep on walking.

Life will undertake to separate us, and we must each set off in search of our own path, our own destiny or our own way of facing death.
