Human beings can transform themselves. They can grow larger or smaller but they grow every day.

I believe that one of the characteristics of the human race, possibly the one that is primarily responsible for its course of evolution, is that it has grown by creatively responding to failure.

Let's honor our mistakes by allowing them to teach us. Let's consider our failings to be gifts, and share them humbly with others. Let the cracks in our perfect facades let in light and air so that new life can grow through them.

Men, like nails, lose their usefulness when they lose their direction and begin to bend.

It takes years to develop into the kind of human being you want to be.

Everyone will be old. We must grow old gracefully whoever we are.
