Sometimes I would almost rather have people take years of my life than take away a moment.
What the world really needs is more love and less paperwork.
We look into mirrors but we only see the effects of our times on us -- not our effects on others.
Do not worry about whether or not the sun will rise. Be prepared to enjoy it.
I tell stories to music and, thank God, in tune.
I never ask myself how I do what I do. After all, how does it rain?
The deed of love is stronger than words
