Memorable Quotes:
“It sounds trite but it's true, you just have to keep going. You just have to put one foot in front of the other and take things minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, week by week, and month by month, because you will get through it.”
“That really is the message—just keep going and that bad things won't last forever and good things are just around the corner. You just have to have hope and faith that things will get better. And odds are they will.”
“It's just that there's good times, there's bad times, and you just have to never give up, never surrender, and just make your way through them. Because you never know what life's gonna throw at you and you have to keep moving.”
