“If you think friendship is easy, then you have never had a true friend.”

Don’t mistake silence for weakness. Smart people don’t plan big moves out loud.

Be strong as you fight your way to success, the difficulty you face is nothing compared to the joy of success.

“Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.”

“They are not your friend unless they have defended you in your absence.”

“Live and act within the limit of your knowledge and keep expanding it to the limit of your life.”

 “For attractive lips, speak words of kindness…

“Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge.”

“If you salute your duty, you no need to salute anybody, but if you pollute your duty, you have to salute everybody.”

“That is what compassion does. It challenges our assumptions, our sense of self-limitation, worthlessness, of not having a place in the world, our feelings of loneliness and estrangement. These are narrow, constrictive states of mind. As we develop compassion, our hearts open.”

You don’t have to defend or explain your decisions to anyone. It’s your life. Live it without apologies.

To the world, you are a mother, to your family you are the world.
