The first casualty of hitting rock bottom is vanity.

Life is not a sprint. It was never meant to be. It is just a step of faith after another.

Things that seem bad at the time are really blessings.

Iwas not a reader at all, not until I discovered 'The Hobbit.' That changed my life. It gave me the courage to read. It led me to the 'Lord of the Rings' series. And once I'd read that, I knew I could read anything because I had just read thousands of pages.

Usually life’s greatest gifts come wrapped in adversity.

There are people who come into our lives as welcome as a cool breeze in summer- and last about as long.

Denial, perhaps, is a necessary human mechanism to cope with the heartaches of life.
