I didn't set out to be kind and wise, but I've grown too old to be anything else.

Hope springs eternal where faith abides.

Every smile a blessing, every breath a prayer.

Better a heart of gold and an empty pocket than an empty heart and a pocket of gold.

Sometimes it is wiser to be kind than to be right, but there are times when being right becomes not just a necessity, but a duty.

Intellect without intelligence is little better than ignorance, and much more dangerous.
