“If you want to find out who your real friends are, sink the ship. The first ones to jump aren’t your friends.”

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

“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.”

“The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.”

“Success is not only for the elite. Success is there for those who want it, plan for it, and take action to achieve it.”

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

“To tell someone not to be emotional is to tell them to be dead.”

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

“It is important that we forgive ourselves for making mistakes. We need to learn from our errors and move on.”

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

Understand that consistency is essential; nothing is achieved without it.

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
