“We must understand that sadness is an ocean, and sometimes we drown, while other days we are forced to swim.”

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

You don’t have to defend or explain your decisions to anyone. It’s your life. Live it without apologies.

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

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

“A friend is one who overlooks your broken fence and admires the flowers in your garden.”

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

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

“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.”

“Show your anger when needed. People need to know what irritates you and what doesn’t. But, crucially, remain internally calm. Your anger is only a tool. Don’t become its puppet.”

“Life has no limitations, except the ones you make.”

Not in doing what you like, but in liking what you do is the secret of happiness

There are friends, there is family, and then there are friends that become family.
