It’s okay to not have it all figured out. If someone does have all the answers, that’s when I should be worried.

There is nothing more dangerous than a person with only one right answer.

Blessed is the person who sees the need, recognizes the responsibility, and actively becomes the answer.

Meeting you was like finding the answer to a question I had long since forgotten asking.
