The greatest problem in the world today is intolerance. Everyone is so intolerant of each other.
Anywhere I see suffering, that is where I want to be, doing what I can.
There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.
I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that.
Any sane person would have left long ago. But I cannot. I have my sons.

I'm as thick as a plank.
I don't even know how to use a parking meter, let alone a phone box.
Only do what your heart tells you.
I want to walk into a room, be it a hospital for the dying or a hospital for the sick children, and feel that I am needed. I want to do, not just to be.
I will fight for my children on any level so they can reach their potential as human beings and in their public duties.

Family is the most important thing in the world.
The biggest disease this day and age is that of people feeling unloved.
