When we cling to pain, we end up punishing ourselves.

A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself -- to laugh with me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because of me; to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.

Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don't over-analyze your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.

Knowing that one is always capable of change, the second step lies in making the decision to change. Change does not occur by merely willing it anymore than behavior changes simply through insight.

Things omitted are often more deadly than errors committed.

One cannot give what he does not possess. To give love you must possess love. To love others you must love yourself.
