“Spend your life lifting people up, not putting them down.”

In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins, not through strength but by perseverance.

I’ve learned that every great achievement was once considered impossible

Remember that everyone is influenced by kindness.

Keep a note pad and pencil on your bedside table. Million-dollar ideas sometimes strike at 3 A.M.

Remember that the biggest gap in the world is between ‘I should’ and ‘I did.’

Judge your success by the degree that you’re enjoying peace, health, and love.

Be modest. A lot was accomplished before you were born.

Your religion is what you do when the sermon is over.

You can get by on charm for about 15 minutes. After that, you better know something.

Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.

Remember that just the moment you say, “I give up,” someone else seeing the same situation is saying, “My, what a great opportunity.”

Remember that what’s right isn’t always popular, and what’s popular isn’t always right.

Don’t expect others to listen to your advice and ignore your example.

Remember that almost everything looks better after a good night’s sleep.

Never give up on what you really want to do

Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.

I believe in continuing to put love and kindness and compassion and art into the world.

I just have a desire not to judge and view things compassionately.

Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.

Be as kind to yourself as you are to others.

Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation.

Weakness is something we don’t like to admit we have. We hold it against people, until we experience it, and then we feel more compassion for it.

Woman is closer to angels than man because she knows how to mingle an infinite tenderness with the most absolute compassion.

Just because the world requires you to be tough doesn’t mean you can’t be gentle with yourself.
