Life is known only by those who have found a way to be comfortable with change and the unknown. Given the nature of life, there may be no security, but only adventure.

If you carry someone else's fears and live by someone else's values, you may find that you have lived their lives.

Life offers its wisdom generously. Everything teaches. Not everyone learns.

When you listen generously to people they can hear the truth in themselves, often for the first time.

We are, in a certain way, defined as much by our potential as by its expression. There is a great difference between an acorn and a little bit of wood carved into an acorn shape, a difference not always readily apparent to the naked eye. The difference is there even if the acorn never has the opportunity to plant itself and become an oak. Remembering its potential changes the way in which we think of the acorn and react to it. How we value it. If an acorn were conscious, knowing its potential would change the way that it might think and feel about itself.

Anger is just a demand for change, a passionate wish for things to be different.

Facts bring us to knowledge, but stories lead to wisdom.
