Quotes
[edit]"I'm telling you, love your kids. All you need is love!"
"Where you are now, that's your comfort zone. If you have dreams, they're out of your comfort zone. You don't have them yet. You want to make your dreams come true, get uncomfortable. Go out of your comfort zone. Comfort is just another word for settling."
"It's okay to be satisfied. Just never be content. They aren't synonyms."
"Your life is not your own. It is meant to be shared."
“It’s the lessons behind sports that are really important. [Special Olympics] finds them a place in society by showing them how to live and interact with others." [1]
