Quote

I was born to be a teacher, and I'll die a teacher.

My very best friend died in a car accident when I was 16 years old. That was the hardest blow emotionally that I have ever had to endure. Suddenly, you realize tomorrow might not come. Now I live by the motto, 'Today is what I have.'

At the end of the day, I got to live my life for my family, for my children, and I'm going to do what's best for them.

Instead of joyfully looking forward to my birth, my mother began systematically preparing for her own death. She was fatalistic.

I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.

My father died when I was only five years old, and that was the moment when I learned a cruel lesson that tomorrow, in fact, might not be another day.

I am too old to die young, and too young to grow up.

The sort of lifetime achievement stuff that I'm getting now is kind of like Tom Sawyer's funeral because they all know I'm sick. I am getting buildings named after me and awards and stuff.
