I have known exceptional people who have endured severe trials while others, at least on the surface, seem to have lived charmed lives.

We've all met those who seem to radiate happiness. They seem to smile more than others; they laugh more than others - just being around them makes us happier as well.

Patience with family members and others who are close to us is vital for us to have happy homes.

When some people have a difficult job to do, they give up everything else until that job is finished. Others just give up.

I have had the opportunity to become acquainted with many wonderful people from many walks of life. I have known rich and poor, famous and modest, wise and otherwise.

The most cherished and sacred moments of our lives are those filled with the spirit of love.
