A kitten is in the animal world what a rosebud is in the garden.

Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.

Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem.

Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to.

You cannot achieve a new goal by applying the same level of thinking that got you where you are today.

The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.

The quality of an individual is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.

We plant seeds that will flower as results in our lives, so best to remove the weeds of anger, avarice, envy, and doubt, that peace and abundance may manifest for all.

You really can change the world if you care enough.

I'm not a perfect girl, my hair doesn't always stay in place, I spill things, and I'm clumsy, but when I take a step back and look at how great my life really is, then maybe I like being imperfect.
