“Death ends a life, not a relationship. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on- in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here.”

“The nearer a man comes to a calm mind the closer he is to strength.”

“Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes.”
