"It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams."
"If I knew that today would be the last time I’d see you, I would hug you tight and pray the Lord be the keeper of your soul. If I knew that this would be the last time you pass through this door, I’d embrace you, kiss you, and call you back for one more. If I knew that this would be the last time I would hear your voice, I’d take hold of each word to be able to hear it over and over again. If I knew this is the last time I see you, I’d tell you I love you, and would not just assume foolishly you know it already."
"A true friend is the one who holds your hand and touches your heart."
"Never stop smiling not even when you're sad, someone might fall in love with your smile."
"Nobody deserves your tears, but whoever deserves them will not make you cry."
