If you expect the world to be fair with you because you are fair, you're fooling yourself. That's like expecting the lion not to eat you because you didn't eat him.
At the end of the day - the long day of your life - as people stand around your grave no one will talk about how big your house was, or how many cars you owned, or your boat or plane... they will only talk about ONE thing and ONE thing ONLY: LOVE! How much you loved them and how much they loved you. So the goal then is to live a life of love. That is all.
Learn to appreciate the things you have before time forces you appreciate the things you once had.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.
Someone else doesn't have to be wrong for you to be right.
While you're busy looking for the perfect person, you'll probably miss the imperfect person who could make you perfectly happy.
When values are clear, decisions are easy.
When you have to start compromising yourself and your morals for the people around you, it's probably time to change the people around you.
Until you can see, and admit, that YOU are the problem... You will be unable to realize that YOU must be the solution.
Never do something permanently foolish just because you are temporarily upset.
Don't look for someone who will solve all your problems; look for someone who will face them with you.
Be happy. Be yourself. If others don't like it, then let them be. Happiness is a choice. Life isn't about pleasing everybody.
If a person wants to be a part of your life, they will make an obvious effort to do so. Think twice before reserving a space in your heart for people who do not make an effort to stay.
When someone tells you, "You've changed," it might simply be because you've stopped living your life their way.
In life, if you don't risk anything, you risk everything.
Don't think of cost. Think of value.
Making one person smile can change the world - maybe not the whole world, but their world.
Learn to love yourself first, instead of loving the idea of other people loving you.
Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.
My definition of success: When your core values and self-concept are in harmony with your daily actions and behaviors.
You cannot change what you refuse to confront.
Anyone can come into your life and say how much they love you. It takes someone really special to stay in your life and show how much they love you.
Sometimes you need to distance yourself to see things clearly.
Making a hundred friends is not a miracle. The miracle is to make a single friend who will stand by your side even when hundreds are against you.
You will never become who you want to be if you keep blaming everyone else for who you are now.
