“There are reasons each of us is born. We have to find those reasons.”

I always tried to tell you that Pai Sho is more than just a game.

Sick of tea? That’s like being sick of breathing!

You will be the beautiful prince you were always meant to be.

I was never angry with you. I was sad, because I was afraid you’d lost your way.

Sometimes the best way to solve your own problems is to help someone else.

Sharing tea with a fascinating stranger is one of life’s true delights.

If you look for the dark, that is all you’ll ever see.

While it is always best to believe in one’s self, a little help from others can be a great blessing.

Life happens wherever you are, whether you make it or not.

I know you’re not supposed to cry over spilled tea, but it’s just so sad!

Failure is only the opportunity to begin again. Only this time, more wisely.

It is usually best to admit mistakes when they occur, and to seek to restore honor.

You have light and peace inside of you. If you let it out, you can change the world around you.

Many things that become threatening in the dark, become welcoming when we shine a light on them.

Are you so busy fighting you cannot see your own ship has set sail?

Tea is nothing more than hot leaf juice!

Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

I grabbed a pile of dust, and holding it up, foolishly asked for as many birthdays as the grains of dust, I forgot to ask that they be years of youth.

You can’t be old and wise, if you were never young and crazy.

It feels so scary getting old.

Your birth may be common, But death must be history.

I don’t age anymore .

Every birth has its significant lifetime miracles. We are supposed to forget all but we are also supposed to remember again. The veil of oblivion exists to make it more interesting to discover ourselves again.

I love a card. You know, cards? At birthdays? I collect them.
