1. "I call people rich when they're able to meet the requirements of their imagination."

There is nothing more fulfilling than being able to become what we want to be. However, in cases as tragic as they are overwhelming in count, many of us don't get to because we simply can't afford it. To be something always costs something -- just ask anyone who's put themselves through law school, med school, or any schooling of any kind. Money, it never fails to give a proper schooling in what we can, and can't be.

2. "The right time is any time that one is still so lucky to have."

Time is precious, so use it, and live in it, because while time goes on living, you won't.

3. "Be not afraid of life believe that life is worth living and your belief will create the fact."

Keep persevering. So long as you breathe, and so as you remain because when you remain so you can breathe, you are something, and someone, and you have a chance to be. Something. Someone. What's more? You get to be an example of someone. One who lives, breathes, and perseveres through the passage of time, and across generations who look back to see what constitutes being a person.

4. "Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind."

People are why we live, and we live because we are people. No matter how high, or far life takes us, at the end of the day, we will go home and shoot our friends text, have dinner with our parents, kiss our spouses or significant others, and quarrel without siblings. People. What makes them mean so much to us? More than a career? Or owning a private jet? Because it is among people, and people only, that we can find the one thing that lasts -- love -- the feeling that we are not alone, not abandoned, that we mean something to someone, and it is because we mean something to someone that we are somebody to someone.

Love, that's how it begins. So how do you get it? There's only one way, and even if you take it, you may not obtain that which you seek. Kindness. It is the bridge between hearts. Where love ventures back and forth.

5. "Sorrow comes in great waves... but rolls over us, and though it may almost smother us, it leaves us. And know that that it is strong, we are stronger, inasmuch as it passes and we remain."

Sadness is a natural part of growing up. As we pass from young men and women into people clothed in flesh bearing the scars of time, and hair as grey as the tears that will soon be shed for us, we will come to know much grief and sorrow. Even though it follows us relentlessly, there are times when even the burden of mourning can all but drown us to the point where we concede to the belief that a better place resides at the bottom of its deepest, darkest depths. But like the most turbulent, violent storm, it passes, and even the sun will shine, perched among the clouds it scatters with its light. Spelling for us a new day. If only we are willing to muster to courage to believe that we can wait out the rain and the thunder.

6. "It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance, and I know of no substitute for the force and beauty of it's process."

How, and what we know of love, hope, courage, and all the things that give life its value and meaning are contained in memories recounted in stories, and it is the telling of such stories of love, hope, and courage that have been the courage, hope, and love of loves, courage, and hopes past, and courage, hope, and love that is yet to come.
