“Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.”

Love can never grow old. Locks may lose their brown and gold. Cheeks may fade and hollow grow. But the hearts that love will know, never winter’s frost and chill, summer’s warmth is in them still.

Life is a paradise for those who love many things with a passion.

After all, the wrong is done. It is past and cannot be changed. We have only the present and the future upon which to move forward.

Loving relationships, though necessary for life, health, and growth, are among the most complicated skills.

In a crazy world, it’s only your insanity that will keep you sane.

We need not be afraid to touch, to feel, to show emotion. The easiest thing in the world is to be what you are, what you feel.

Choose the way of life. Choose the way of love. Choose the way of caring. Choose the way of goodness. It’s up to you. It’s your choice.

We always think of failure as the antithesis of success, but it isn’t. Success often lies just the other side of failure.

We seem to gain wisdom more readily through our failures than through our successes.

We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces – we become the powerful force ourselves.

A wonderful realization will be the day you realize that you are unique in all the world.

Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized.

If we wish to free ourselves from enslavement, we must choose freedom and the responsibility this entails.

Nine times out of ten, when you extend your arms to someone, they will step in, because basically they need precisely what you need.

I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate – it’s apathy. It’s not giving a damn.

The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don’t let them put you in that position.
