“Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it.”

“You can spend the entire second half of your life recovering from the mistakes of the first half.”

“The way to achieve happiness is to try for perfection that is impossible to achieve, and spend the rest of your life trying to achieve it.”

“Want a reliable road to emotional and spiritual suicide? Spend your life trying to fit in.”

“You spend your whole life grieving for those who haven’t died yet.”

“We all make mistakes, don't we? But if you can't forgive yourself, you'll always be an exile in your own life.”
