Our experiences are the building blocks of the future hewn out of the granite of the present.

Sometimes consequences are building blocks fashioned of granite when successes are shaped of clay.

It is in building the best of our abilities that we ultimately destroy the worst of our liabilities.

The adult within me would be much wiser to learn from the child within me rather than focus on the demand that the child within me grow up.

We would prefer all gain and no loss in life, yet that would gain us nothing more than great loss.

Pain is nothing but growth waiting for us to give it permission to grow us up.
