Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.

He who remains calm while those around him panic probably doesn't know what's going on.

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

To love others you must love yourself...You can only give to others what you have yourself.

Find the person who will love you because of your differences and not in spite of them and you have found a lover for life.

Happiness is intrinsic, it's an internal thing. When you build it into yourself, no external circumstances can take it away.

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool, to weep is to risk appearing too sentimental, to reach out for another is to risk involvement, and to expose feelings is to risk exposing one's true self.
