The tragedy of death is the many parts of those left behind that will no longer be expressed.

Death is not just the loss of a whole one but the loss of many parts.

Before you lose the part of you that only that loved one can express, capture it, store it: in writing, in film, in art, for memory is an store of memories.

To learn without experiencing is insight.

To experience before learning is reflection.

To know when each is required is wisdom.

I have observed that you don’t  do great things because you want to do great things.

You do great things because you disproportionately focus on doing a not-so-great thing well.

There might be no stars in our night sky, but we have fireflies that twinkle.

Unlike a star’s twinkle, I can hold this twinkle in my hands.

A bowed head might miss a star’s twinkle, but a firefly’s twinkle meets my gaze wherever it rests.

There might be no stars in our night sky, but we have fireflies that twinkle.

And that is enough for the night.

The problem is you always offer solutions.

The solution is to offer a listening ear.

If there is anything to learn from stories, it is this: the enemy is always so close it is near impossible to see them for who they are.

And there’s no one closer to you than you.

Live by the advice you would give to someone you love.

Because you are someone you should love.

See how much your life improves just by doing this.

Just decide how you will be treated.

Act accordingly.

Everybody else will shape up.

Nothing matters when everything matters.

Something matters when nothing else matters.

Trade-offs are a signal of clarity.

Power is hidden behind the throne.

Power prefers power, not power plays.
