Few people can fail to generate a self-healing process, when they become genuinely involved in healing others.

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.

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.

Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.

The process of writing a book is infinitely more important than the book that is completed as a result of the writing, let alone the success or failure that book may have after it is written . . . the book is merely a symbol of the writing. In writing the book, I am living. I am growing. I am tapping myself. I am changing. The process is the product.

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

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