"True happiness comes from humility and from the recognition that we are only very little or almost nothing, and life is only complete with the real feeling of love  for our neighbour,"

"I am grateful with all my heart for so many blessings, so many successive miracles in my life. The winner said: 'Let's live our dreams, we have so little time.'"
