“Don’t go through life, grow through life.”

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

“Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.”

“What we all have in common is an appreciation of kindness and compassion; all the religions have this. Love. We all lean towards love.”

“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 greatest mistake we make in relationships, we listen half, understand quarter, think zero, and react double.

Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.

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

“Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time.”

In disagreements with loved ones, deal with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past as that will only cause unnecessary resentment.

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

Be the reason somebody’s faith in humanity is restored.
