“Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.”

You may trod me in the very dirt, but still, like dust, I'll rise.

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.

Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.

You can't really know where you are going until you know where you have been.

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

The caged bird sings of freedom.
