I have decided to love. If you are seeking the highest good, I think you can find it through love. And the beautiful thing is that we are moving against wrong when we do it, because John was right, God is love.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. Nothing worthwhile is easy.

Always set your standards high, your greatest achievements lie within the infinite feats you achieve in your life.
Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
