I think that someone is watching out for me, God, my guardian angel, I'm not sure who that is, but they really work hard.

Wars should be fought with words, not bombs, not weapons. And calm words. I think that wars should be fought over a chessboard and a cup of something to drink.

Expressing my feelings and then the opportunity to share it with others is just such a gift.

I do fear death. But what I actually fear is not dying. I mean, true, it will be sad. But I know that there is a better place waiting for me.

I want to be remembered as a poet, a peacemaker, and a philosopher who played.

It's the song in your heart that wants you to help make yourself a better person, and to help other people do the same. Everybody has one.

You can't lie down in the ashes of another person's life.

I feel that God has given me a very special opportunity that I should not let go to waste. I use the gift he has given me.

There can be many different views of what Heaven is like, because Heaven is whatever makes each person eternally and fully happy.

God gives me hope that there is something greater than us, something better and bigger than the here and now, that can help us live.

Remember to look at your glass half full and not half empty. A lot of my strength comes from God. God has given me a gift - the gift of life - and it's amazing that I live each day.
