9. "Rise and shine.' Yeah yeah, I'll rise, but I refuse to shine."
8. "The true secret of life is to find peace in yourself and to share it with the world."
7. "Life is eternal. It has no beginning and no end. The loving friends we meet on our journey return to us time after time. We never die because we were never really born."
6. "Part of being a friend is letting people keep secrets. I respect that."

7. "The eyes of a child are innocent. They can see the world in ways that we have long forgotten."
