A dream is not that which you see while sleeping, it is something that does not let you sleep.

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

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

In disagreements with loved ones, deal with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past as that will only cause unnecessary resentment.

“Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.”

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

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

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

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

“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.”

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

“To me, beauty is natural beauty. If you’re naturally yourself, you’re beautiful.”
