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

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

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

“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”

“Good friends are like stars. You don’t always see them, but you know they’re always there.”

When you look at people who are successful, you will find that they aren’t the people who are motivated, but have consistency in their motivation.

Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.

If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.

“We never lose friends. We simply learn who the real ones are.”

Control anger before it controls you.

Never regret being a good person, to the wrong people. Your behavior says everything about you, and their behavior says enough about them.

“The problem is not the problem; the problem is your attitude about the problem.”

“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.”
