Some of the hardest decisions I ever make happen when no one is watching. Things people would be so proud of me for—but no one ever sees, because I’m too scared to let them.
“However, if you do start crying in an argument and someone asks why, you can always say, "I'm just crying because of how wrong you are.”

“...the more risks you allow children to take, the better they learn to take care of themselves. If you never let them take any risks, then I believe they become very prone to injury. Boys should be allowed to climb tall trees and walk along the tops of high walls and dive into the sea from high rocks... The same with girls. I like the type of child who takes risks. Better by far than the one who never does so.”

“Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends, and integrity. And you're keeping all of them in the air. But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls...are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.”

“I’ve come to believe that how we choose to live with pain, or injustice, or death . . . is the true measure of the Divine within us.”
