Family isn’t always blood, it’s the people in your life who want you in theirs: the one who accept you for who you are, the ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what.

Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage, you cannot practice any other virtue consistently. You can’t be consistently kind, or fair, or humane, or generous. Not without courage. Because if you don’t have it, sooner or later you’ll stop and say ‘The threat is too much, the difficulty is too high, the challenge is too great.’

I’m grateful being here, for being able to think, for being able to see, for being able to taste, for appreciating love – for knowing that it exists in a world so rife with vulgarity, with brutality and violence, and yet love exists. I’m grateful to know that it exists.

Hope for the best, be prepared for the worse. Life is shocking, but you must never appear to be shocked. For no matter how bad it is, it could be worse and no matter how good it is, it good be better.
