There are a great many people in our society who are happy, but since they don't know they're happy, they're not happy.

Treat yourself at least as well as you treat other people.

To the extent that we honor all aspects of ourselves, we remove revulsion, self-hate, horror, and terror from our lives. As whole human beings we are the creatures of the greatest complexity on this planet. Respect for this complexity includes our insisting on acceptance of the inconsistent and incongruous.

The question is not whether we are able to change but whether we are changing fast enough.

I must learn to love the fool in me the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries.

All of us are crazy in one or another way.

Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.
