“It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know.

― Eleanor Roosevelt

“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.”

“At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done.

― Mother Teresa
