The constant pressure to bring about conformity is a dangerous thing.

I found that almost everyone had something interesting to contribute to my education.

A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and in all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.

You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.

You can't move so fast that you try to change the mores faster than people can accept it.

No one can insult you without your permission.

Life is what you make it. Always has been, always will be.
