Sometimes it's best not to tell everything you know.
I can't fix the past, but I can try to make things right from now on.
You never know what someone else is carrying around inside them.
I don't know how to fix everything, but I can help where I can.
We all have to live with the choices we make.
It's hard to understand someone else's pain if you've never walked in their shoes.
Sometimes the hardest thing to say is the most important thing to say.
It takes courage to stand up for what's right.
The truth may be hard to hear, but it's worth knowing.
You can't change the cards you were dealt, but you can play a good hand with what you have.
Standing up for what's right is never the wrong choice.
