As you live your values, your sense of identity, integrity, control, and inner-directedness will infuse you with both exhilaration and peace. You will define yourself from within, rather than by people's opinions or by comparisons to others.

If our feelings control our actions, it is because we have abdicated our responsibility and empowered them to do so.

Principles are deep fundamental truths... lightly interwoven threads running with exactness, consistency, beauty and strength through the fabric of life.

The greatest risk is the risk of riskless living.

One thing about trust is that everyone's for it.

Be proactive. Ask yourself, "Are my actions based on self-chosen values or on my moods, feelings and circumstances?"

Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it's holy ground. There's no greater investment.
