From David Loveless, things he's learned:

I've learned... That under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.
 
 I 've learned.... That when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.
 
 I've learned.... That love, not time, heals all wounds.
 
I've learned..... That no one is perfect until you fall in love with them.
 
 I've learned... That life is tough, but I'm tougher.
 
 I've learned.... That opportunities are never lost, someone will take the ones you miss.
 
 I've learned.... That when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.
 
 I've learned.... That I wish I could have told my Mom that I love her one more time before she passed away.
 
 I've learned.... That one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.
 
 I've learned.... That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
 
 I've learned.... That when your newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his little fist, that you're hooked for life.
 
 I've
learned.... That everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all
the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.
 
 I've learned.... That the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.
