Be a good listener...It makes the person who's speaking to you feel loved,cared for and worthy of being heard.

I used to think that you could find peace and it would always be there. And there is a sense of that. But even in the worst moments, catch yourself and remember that within the storm of misfortune there is good fortune. Just get in practice with what they call in Taoism the Wu-wei; the non-action and becoming the observer of it. Just notice and stay at peace with it. I must have admit, that I still have those really disrupting moments.

True love means you love a person for what they are, not for what you think they should be.

Any success that I've had in my life has been in spite of my education rather than because of it.

There's not a day I live that doesn't start with me getting up and first saying, "What can I do for somebody else?" Whether that means sending something to one of my children or picking up the phone and calling a stranger who is in the hospital, I start every day by wanting more for others than I do for myself.

Consider those whom you call your enemies and figure out what they should call you.

Our greatest dreams are never out of reach, only out of belief.
