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

“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.”

“Your emotions make you human. Even the unpleasant ones have a purpose. Don’t lock them away. If you ignore them, they just get louder and angrier.”

“When all the dust is settled and all the crowds are gone, the things that matter are faith, family, and friends.”

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

“Sometimes the things that hurt the most teach us the best lessons.”

“You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.”

Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

Believing in negative thoughts is the single greatest obstruction to success.

“Don’t be afraid to start over. This time you’re not starting from scratch, you’re starting from experience.”

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

“Live and act within the limit of your knowledge and keep expanding it to the limit of your life.”
