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

“Outer beauty attracts, but inner beauty captivates.”

“Choose thoughts that give you the emotions of being alive and excited about life.”

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

Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do. (Pele)

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

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

“Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together.”

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

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

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

“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.”

“If you want to find out who your real friends are, sink the ship. The first ones to jump aren’t your friends.”
