“Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn’t stop for anybody.”

Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.

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

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

“Sometimes life doesn’t give you what you want, not because you don’t deserve it, but because you deserve so much more.” 

“The only person you should strive to be better than, is the person you were yesterday. ”

“If you want to fly give up everything that weighs you down.”  

“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.”

“Characterize people by their actions, and you will never be fooled by their words.”

Control anger before it controls you.
