“Our only hope lies in the power of our love, generosity, tolerance and understanding and our commitment to making the world a better place for all.”

The man with no imagination has no wings.

Impossible is not a fact, It’s an opinion.

The only limitations one has, are the ones they place on themselves.

It’s lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.

True success is reaching our potential without compromising our values.

Of course I believe in marriage. Commitment to one other person in life is glorious.

Be committed to the process without being emotionally attached to the results.

Be honest about what you can get. To make a sacrifice and to get what you want you need to be very certain. In other words: always think about your objective, have a clear goal and commit to it from the heart.

Marriage is two imperfect people committing themselves to a perfect institution, by making perfect vows from imperfect lips before a perfect God.

Authentic love can be unconditional and still require reciprocity, respect, and mutual willingness.

A mistake is to commit a misunderstanding.

Whoever commits a fraud is guilty not only of the particular injury to him who he deceives, but of the diminution of that confidence which constitutes not only the ease but the existence of society.

My fortune somewhat resembled that of a person who should entertain an idea of committing suicide, and, altogether beyond his hopes, meet with the good hap to be murdered.
