Life is mystery, know it. Life is a promise, fulfil it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it. Born Agnes Goinxha Bejaxhiu to Albanian parents of peasant stock in Skopje in the former Yugoslavia on August 27.
