To be cliché, death is a part of life and it's going to happen to all of us. I have the blessing of getting a little bit of advance notice and I am able to optimize my use of time down the home stretch.

I always thought every day was a gift, but now I am looking for where to send the thank you note.

Find the best in everybody. Wait long enough, and people will surprise and impress you. It might even take years, but people will show you their good side. Just keep waiting.

If I was able to tell my story with the passion I felt, my lecture might help others find a path to fulfilling their own dreams.

Never lose the child-like wonder. It’s just too important. It’s what drives us. Help others.

I am going to keep having fun every day I have left, because there is no other way of life. You just have to decide whether you are a Tigger or an Eeyore.

I don't suffer from an abundance of politeness.
