You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. Try to be a rainbow in someone else's cloud. Do not complain. Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.

One isn't born with courage. One develops it by doing small courageous things.

If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love.

And I not only have the right to stand up for myself, but I have the responsibility. I can't ask somebody else to stand up for me if I won't stand up for myself. And once you stand up for yourself, you'd be surprised that people say, "Can I be of help?"

Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.

It's hard because people think they have something to lose and the truth is they have everything to gain in trying to love somebody.

Spirit is an invisible force made visible in all life.
