“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.”

“Why don’t you focus on where you’re going and less on where you came from?”

“Characterize people by their actions, and you will never be fooled by their words.”

“Don’t go through life, grow through life.”

“We should respect all religions and just believe in peace, kindness and harmony.”

“It is important that we forgive ourselves for making mistakes. We need to learn from our errors and move on.”

“Seek respect, not attention. It lasts longer.”

“Instead of complaining about your circumstances, get busy and create some new ones.”
