“If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create.”

Just be yourself. Let people see the real, imperfect, flawed, quirky, weird, beautiful and magical person that you are.

Don’t let others box you into their idea of what they think you should be.

Don’t fall on their level. Be better.

The heart never forgets what makes it happy. Happiness helps the wounds heal into scars.

Fight hard the battle of life and take the challenges with courage, determination, and perseverance.

Our perception is the lens we see the world through.

No one stays forever. Just learn to be happy alone.

The idea of feeling great at all times is purely fictional for a simple reason: we get bored of the same things, same feelings, same environments pretty quickly. If everything was always nice and great, you’d get depressed.

Be with the people who have good intentions.

We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections.

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance.

Life is just another beast you were meant to tame, and there is no one better for the job, other than you.

Never outsource your happiness to someone else. Derive it from within by enjoying your own company.

Just because I’m smiling doesn’t mean I’m Not hurt.

If everything is perfect, you would never learn and you would never grow. Life is not so much what you accomplish as what you overcome.

Don’t let your past keep you away from your greatness today. Regret only lives in the mind. Release it all because you are renewed every second.

The art of any propagandist and agitator consists in his ability to find the best means of influencing any given audience, by presenting a definite truth, in such a way as to make it most convincing, most easy to digest, most graphic, and most strongly impressive.

Every character that I’ve chosen has made me evolve as an actor. And I am lucky that my directors have shown so much faith in my abilities.

It is not my ability, but my response to God’s ability, that counts.

Education does not take place when you learn something you did not know before. Education is your ability to use what you have learned to be better today than you were yesterday.

It’s too bad, but the way American people are, now that they have all this capability, instead of taking advantage of it, they’ll probably just piss it all away.

When we are powerless to do a thing, it is a great joy that we can come and step inside the ability of Jesus.

Only struggle educates the exploited class. Only struggle discloses to it the magnitude of its own power, widens its horizon, enhances its abilities, clarifies its mind, forges its will.

You don’t have to be a poet, you don’t have to be a politician or be in the White House to make an impact with your words. We all have this capacity to find solutions for the future.
