“It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved.”

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

Be proud, you survived the days you thought you couldn’t.

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

“War does not determine who is right — only who is left.”

“Sometimes the things that hurt the most teach us the best lessons.”

Believing in negative thoughts is the single greatest obstruction to success.

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

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

“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.”

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

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

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