If you don't make a conscious choice... someone else will decide for you. It may be your boss, a family member, an advertiser, a collective social influence, or someone or something else, but it won't be something of your deliberate choosing.

The most intelligent thing you can possibly do with your life is to grow.

If you dislike the answers you’re getting from life, try asking better questions.

Are you one of those people who notices the problems of the world and says ... somebody ought to do something about that? Why not you? If you feel a strong urge to see a problem fixed, then why not act on it?

I think the best friendships are those that can stand the test of time, where the friendship is based more on who you are than on what you do or what you have.

If someone offers you a gift, and you decline to accept it, the other person still owns that gift. The same is true of insults and verbal attacks.

I learned that accepting others and accepting myself are two sides of the same coin; you can't love and accept yourself without doing the same for others.
