“Suffering passes, while love is eternal. That’s a gift that you have received from God. Don’t waste it.”

A good laugh overcomes more difficulties and dissipates more dark clouds than any other one thing.

The sweetness of life lies in usefulness, like honey deep in the heart of a clover bloom.

Why should we need extra time in which to enjoy ourselves? If we expect to enjoy our life, we will have to learn to be joyful in all of it, not just at stated intervals when we can get time or when we have nothing else to do.

The only forever I have witnessed in my life is the relationship of love and goodbyes.

I know there is no such thing as forever. But I promise I will love you until the very end.

Who wants to live forever?

He was going to live forever, or die in the attempt.

We cross infinity with every step; we meet eternity in every step.

God forever working harder than satan.
