We should not fret for what is past, nor should we be anxious about the future; men of discernment deal only with the present moment.

One whose knowledge is confined to books and whose wealth is in the possession of others, can use neither his knowledge nor wealth when the need for them arises.

O wise man! Give your wealth only to the worthy and never to others. The water of the sea received by the clouds is always sweet.

The earth is supported by the power of truth; it is the power of truth that makes the sun shine and the winds blow; indeed all things rest upon truth.

The exact time of death, I think, is not something that matters so much at this moment for we will be reliving John Paul's life for many days and weeks and even years and decades and centuries to come.

Love remembered and consecrated by grief belongs, more clearly than the happy intercourse of friends, to the eternal world; it has proved itself stronger than death.

The thing about grief is that it's a roller coaster - it's up, it's down. The emotions sometimes take over.

Grief is an emotion that's almost unplayable because you're in a separate emotional state; it's an inconsolable emotion.
