Here are a couple that come quickly to mind...

"I am healthy, I am strong, liver spots are long, long gone..."

On Second Chances

"Sometimes, just sometimes, when we try to do right by ourselves as well as by others, sometimes, we get a second chance, a chance to live or re-live moments that were for whatever reasons, somehow taken away..."

On Empathy and Compassion

"Always remember that the compassionate response is always the best response, for we will NEVER TRULY KNOW what it is like to walk in the shoes of another, even though we might come so close as to match their footprints in the sand."

On Truth and Light

"It is better to know even a dark and terrible truth, than not to know it."

I have looked for the light in all the dark places, but I have learned one thing, I NOW know for certain where the LIGHT isn't.

On Failure

Failure is the door you left unopened
A book whose last page you just couldn't read
A song you left unsung
on the very next-to-last note...

Failure is never attaining a sound resolution
To the chords of your life
that produce the harmony called Happiness
in your soul.

Failure is nothing more
than a bit of past, left hanging,
Loose threads, left untied,
merely cut.

On the necessity of losing everything just to learn a little

"Les juenes ne savent pas que l'experience est une defaite et qu'il faut tout perdre pour savoir un peu." Camus
