I learned that, with grief, you have to take it one day at a time and learn how to find the happiness amid the heartbreak.
We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?
One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to beat him at politeness.
