Only the flexibly creative person can really manage the future, Only the one who can face novelty with confidence and without fear.

The loss of illusions and the discovery of identity, though painful at first, can be ultimately exhilarating and strengthening.

Be independent of the good opinion of other people.

When people appear to be something other than good and decent, it is only because they are reacting to stress, pain, or the deprivation of basic human needs such as security, love, and self-esteem.

One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.

A positive self image and healthy self esteem is based on approval, acceptance and recognition from others; but also upon actual accomplishments, achievements and success upon the realistic self confidence which ensues.

All of life is education and everybody is a teacher and everybody is forever a pupil.
