The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remain as your legacy.
If pain must come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him.
The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.
There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one
