“A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there.”

It hurts when you go through something that kills you inside but you have to act like it doesn’t affect you.

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

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

“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.”

“Any alleged right of one man, which necessitates the violation of the rights of another isn’t and can’t be a right.”

“Home is the place, where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.”  

Life is about balance. Be kind, but don’t let people abuse you. Trust, but don’t be deceived. Be content, but never stop improving yourself.
