Mitch, that's what faith is. If they spit in your face, you say it must be raining. But you still come back tomorrow. - Mitch Albom

No story sits by itself. Sometimes stories meet at corners and sometimes they cover one another completely, like stones beneath a river.

"Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness. I can tell you, as I'm sitting here dying, when you most need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling you're looking for, no matter how much of them you have."

Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone.
