My self-esteem had been crushed through years of childhood bullying and serious abuses, which would take me decades to overcome.

Some people are so addicted to their misery that they will destroy anything that gets in the way of their fix.

When trying to teach someone a boundary, they learn less from the enforcement of the boundary and more from the way the boundary was established.

Knowledge is that possession that no misfortune can destroy, no authority can revoke, and no enemy can control. This makes knowledge the greatest of all freedoms.

It has been my experience that if we make the effort to listen to people when we meet them, and work to get to know them a little, it is then easy to find something likeable in practically anyone.

The power of getting to know one another is so immense, eclipsed only by first getting to know ourselves.

Want is an empty void - your real value is full and abundant.
