I hate telling that story to people who've been struggling for years.

We reap a reward merely in the act of helping others. We never know how, or if, that reward will come back to us. Helping is the reward; none other is needed nor better.

Alone, he must bear the weight of a sin he dare not confess to the one person he loves…and has lost.

We all can be only who we are, no more, no less.

Others made you into who you were. You made yourself into what you have become.

Culture carries no privilege to exist. Cultures do not have value simply because they are. Some cultures, the world is better off without.

Everyone makes mistakes. How a person deals with their mistakes is a mark of their character.
