To avail yourself of His certain wisdom, ask of Him whatever questions you have. But do not entreat Him, for that will never be necessary.

Before, I thought I was actually fighting for my own self-worth; that is why I so desperately wanted people to like me. I thought their liking me was a comment on me, but it was a comment on them.

Negative feedback is better that none. I would rather have a man hate me than overlook me. As long as he hates me I make a difference.

When I have listened to my mistakes, I have grown.

Whenever we condemn, we cloak the world in pain.

I can not 'make my mark' for all time - those concepts are mutually exclusive. 'Lasting effect' is a self-contradictory term. Meaning does not exist in the future and neither do I. Nothing will have meaning 'ultimately.' Nothing will even mean tomorrow what it did today. Meaning changes with the context. My meaningfulness is here. It is enough that I am of value to someone today. It is enough that I make a difference now.

Next time I will ..." "From now on I will ..." - What makes me think I am wiser today than I will be tomorrow?
