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

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

Learn to value yourself, which means: fight for your happiness.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

“Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.”

The less you respond to negative people, the more positive your life will become.

“Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself.”

When you meet me, you think I’m quiet. When you talk to me, you wish I was quiet. When you know me, you get scared when I’m quiet.

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

“A friend who understands your tears is much more valuable than a lot of friends who only know your smile.”

A mother is your first friend, your best friend, your forever friend.

“The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.”
