Feel deeply to think clearly.

It is impressive to see a person who has been battered by life in many ways, who is torn by a variety of unsolved problems, who may be alienated from many aspects of the self-but who is still fighting, still struggling, still striving to find the path to a fulfilling existence, moved by the wisdom of knowing, "I am more than my problems."

If you choose not to live self-responsibly, you count on others to make up your default. No one abjures self-responsibility on a desert island.

Whether in the workplace or in personal relationships, success belongs to those who are willing to take responsibility for attaining their desires-those who respond to life actively rather than passively.

It is a curious paradox of human history that a doctrine that tells human beings to regard themselves as sacrificial animals has been accepted as a doctrine representing benevolence and love for mankind.

A woman in love will do almost anything for a man, except give up the desire to improve him.

You have a right to your feelings. Your feelings are there to tell you something, but they are not infallible guides to behavior.
