Real love is a permanently self-enlarging experience.

The act of loving is an act of self-evolution even when the purpose of the act is someone else's growth.

When you consider yourself valuable you will take care of yourself in all ways that are necessary.

When we love someone our love becomes demonstrable or real only through our exertion - through the fact that for that someone (or for ourself) we take an extra step or walk an extra mile. Love is not effortless. To the contrary, love is effortful.

The life of wisdom must be a life of contemplation combined with action.

Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.

There can be no vulnerability without risk; there can be no community without vulnerability; there can be no peace, and ultimately no life, without community.
