There is nothing more perfect than doing your best.

There is no greater blessing than a family hand that lifts you from a fall; but there is not lower curse than a family hand that strikes you when you're down.

By life's very nature we are compelled to find and maintain balance, or be subject to the symptoms of the lack thereof.

Resilience is the ability to attack while running away.

Look for goodness in others, for beauty in the world, and for possibilities in yourself.

Commitment achieves today what yesterday was impossible.

When the world grinds you down, bent to tear you apart, cling to what you hold dear, and stay true to your heart. For the world has a way to dismantle your cause, to exploit what you lack and expose all your flaws. But when every layer of your being is gone, and it seems there's no point anymore to go on; just remember one thing, at the end of the day, when you have self-respect they can't take that away.
