“Sometimes we know the value of people and things only after they are gone. So let's appreciate the people we have while we have them. Now.”
Thuita J. Maina

“Fear and faith have something in common. They both ask us to believe in something we cannot see. Strive to have faith instead of fear.”
Thuita J. Maina

“If you don't learn to think creatively and independently, your life may become boring and uninteresting. So think, believe, dream and dare. Awaken the genius in you.”
Thuita J. Maina

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”
Maya Angelou

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
William W. Purkey

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”
Helen Keller

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
Albert Camus
