Inner sense of worth that comes with being in love does not seem to depend essentially on whether the love is returned or not.

Humans have a habit of running faster when they have lost their way.

Many people suffer from the fear of finding oneself alone, and so they don't find themselves at all.

Courage is not the absence of despair; it is, rather, the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair.

We receive love — from our children as well as others — not in proportion to our demands or sacrifices or needs, but roughly in proportion to our own capacity to love.

To say a person is a coward has no more meaning than to say he is lazy: It simply tells us that some vital potentiality is unrealized or blocked.

Courage is the basic virtue for everyone so long as he continues to grow, to move ahead.
