About ninety percent of love is just paying attention.
Paul Hamer
Park Tudor School Commencement 2007, 2007
When someone close to you dies, it is not the big moments you remember, but small moments — the seemingly insignificant way Dave wheezed slightly when he laughed hard, or how he loved the way the earth smelled in the fall. If you can notice these moments, breathe them in, even for a second, then you have achieved success.

When someone close to you dies, it is not the big moments you remember, but small moments. If you can notice these moments, breathe them in, even for a second, on your way to the courtroom, or the office, then you have achieved success.

Love is the only thing that the more you give away, the more you have.
Jerry Zucker
University of Wisconsin-Madison Commencement 2003, 2003
At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict, or closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, or a parent.
Barbara P. Bush
Wake Forest University Commencement 2001, 2001
Every day we are called to do small things with great love.

Talent is really the gift of love. Talent happens when you are in love with something and you devote your life to it, and it's your love of it that makes you want to keep doing it.
Suzan-Lori Parks
Mount Holyoke College Commencement 2001, 2001
Your good friends from college may be the best friends you ever have. Guard those relationships like gold, work hard to maintain them. When they have a wedding, go across the country to be there. When one of them needs your help, cross the globe to give it to them.
Lawrence Kasdan
University of Michigan Commencement 1990, 1990
