When we were growing up, all of us kids were vegetarians. No one had asked me to stop eating meat - I just noticed everyone else around me had stopped, so I followed the crew.

I was very independent growing up, but there were things that were bothering me that I never told anybody. I would talk to our animals at home.

You don't have to hold onto the pain to hold onto the memory.

I feel everyone is put here for a reason. Everyone has a calling. I always thought my real calling was to help other people.

I really love being alive. I love my family and my work. I love the opportunity I have to do things. That's what happiness is.

Yet better for one of my nature to have it that way than to have life a peaceful, placid flow of quiet contentment. I must have days of rushing excitement.

Experience has taught me to believe that, these human beans are the most insidious enemies man, with a tendency to corpulence in advanced life, can possess, though eminently friendly to youth.

The path I am trying so hard to follow is in fact the one that God my Father and His Son Jesus Christ want me to pursue. It has brought me deep happiness.
