My grandfather was a practising Quaker. My father was a nihilist. But nihilism, if you like, is the beginning of faith anyway.

The great thing about new friends is that they bring new energy to your soul.

A best friend isn't just someone who's always there for you. It's someone who understands you a bit more than you understand yourself.

Childhood friendship is the most beautiful memory that can't ever be replaced.

The man who thinks he can and the man who thinks he can't are both right. Which one are you?

A dad is someone who wants to catch you before you fall but instead picks you up, brushes you off, and lets you try again. A dad is someone who wants to keep you from making mistakes but instead lets you find your own way, even though his heart breaks in silence when you get hurt. A dad is someone who holds you when you cry, scolds you when you break the rules, shines with pride when you succeed, and has faith in you even when you fail.

And the yellow sunflower by the brook, in autumn beauty stood.
