I just live and let live and live my life pretty much according to the Golden Rule. And it turns out well for me.

My mother once said to me, 'You must promise to be happy; it is the greatest favour you can do to others'. It has guided me throughout my life.

My guiding principles in life are to be honest, genuine, thoughtful and caring.

We had a motto in my school: 'Men for Others.' And it was there that my faith became something vital. My north star for orienting my life. And when I left high school, I knew that I wanted to battle for social justice.

Our life ripples out, and it has influence. That's why it's important that we're at our best and that we're influencing others for the good.

When I was about to turn 50, I went into a kind of personal revision and observed my own priorities and what led those priorities in my life. And many things that, in a way, were profound.

My life motto is 'Do my best, so that I can't blame myself for anything.'

My greatest life lesson has been that life can change in a second. This is why it's important to always live your best possible life and to do what you can for others.

No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.

You all know that I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces - my family, my friends, and a faith in the power of resilience and hope. These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined.
