“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

“You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.”

“Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions.”

Not in doing what you like, but in liking what you do is the secret of happiness

Live your best, and act your best, and think your best each day, for there may be no tomorrows.

Understand that consistency is essential; nothing is achieved without it.

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

“Anything that costs your peace is too expensive”

“Show your anger when needed. People need to know what irritates you and what doesn’t. But, crucially, remain internally calm. Your anger is only a tool. Don’t become its puppet.”

The true mark of maturity is when somebody hurts you and you try to understand their situation instead of trying to hurt them back.

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

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

“Whatever life gives you, even if it hurts, just be strong and act like you’re okay. Strong walls shake but never collapse.”
