Suffering is one of life's great teachers.

Rejection is merely a redirection; a course correction to your destiny.

Courtesy is a silver lining around the dark clouds of civilization; it is the best part of refinement and in many ways, an art of heroic beauty in the vast gallery of man's cruelty and baseness.

When we want to talk, we can instead listen, and let our attentiveness to another's need to speak be our silent statement.

* The essential respect is the one in your own heart for yourself.

True freedom is where an individual's thoughts and actions are in alignment with that which is true, correct, and of honor - no matter the personal price.

As free as you allow others to be, such freedom you create for yourself.
