“Find the person who will love you because of your differences and not in spite of them and you have found a lover for life.”

Don’t hold to anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy and keep you from love.

It’s not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something.

Value yourself. The only people who appreciate a doormat are people with dirty shoes.

Loving memories last forever, I am at a loss for words during this sorrowful time. Please know that I am thinking of you and praying for peace and comfort.

The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing.

A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself – to laugh with me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because of me; to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart.

What love we’ve given, we’ll have forever. What love we fail to give, will be lost for all eternity.

When we give ourselves in love we become our most vulnerable. We are never safe. We become open to disappointment and hurt.

I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be.

This loving person is a person who abhors waste – waste of time, waste of human potential. How much time we waste. As if we were going to live forever.

Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.

Life is a great and wondrous mystery, and the only thing we know that we have for sure is what is right here right now. Don’t miss it.

Most of us are pawns in a game of love we don’t understand.

Everybody needs a hug. It changes your metabolism.

When we treat children’s play as seriously as it deserves, we are helping them feel the joy that’s to be found in the creative spirit. It’s the things we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in our lives.

Is there a difference between happiness and inner peace? Yes. Happiness depends on conditions being perceived as positive; inner peace does not.

The difference between a republic and an empire is the loyalty of one’s army.

On the path to success, there is always going to be an opportunity to help someone else be successful too. Take that opportunity, and be the kind of person who makes a difference in the lives of others.

Killing myself was a matter of such indifference to me that I felt like waiting for a moment when it would make some difference.

The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn’t get worse every time Congress meets.

The unlike is joined together, and from differences results the most beautiful harmony.

Love and trust, in the space between what’s said and what’s heard in our life, can make all the difference in the world.
