“If you get tired, learn to rest not to quit!”

You have to remember that the hard days are what make you stronger.

“Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.”

“There are certain people who make the world a better place just by being in it. You are one of those people. I love you my friend.”

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

“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.”

Anyone can buy a good house, but good neighbors are priceless.

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

Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional. It’s a sign that you have big heart, and that you aren’t afraid to let others see it. Showing your emotions is a sign of strength. 

Other things may change us, but we start and end with the family.

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

“The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart.”

“When you are looking at your mother, you are looking at the purest love you will ever know.”
