“Most of us remain strangers to ourselves, hiding who we are, and ask other strangers, hiding who they are, to love us.”

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.

Love creates an “us” without destroying the “me”.

Even after centuries of human interacting, children still continue to rebel against their parents and siblings.

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.

All creative people have to have vulnerability because those nuances are what move people. So I’m deeply insecure – but I’m good at hiding it.

My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around.

I think it’s important that you always transform if you can. That’s what I was trained to do. You try and hide yourself as much as you can – that’s the key to longevity.

You do not have to struggle to reach God, but you do have to struggle to tear away the self-created veil that hides him from you

I just want you to know that nothing hidden heals.

A lot of ugly people hide behind beautiful eyes. A lot of things are only lies.

That Justice is a blind goddess Is a thing to which we black are wise: Her bandage hides two festering sores That once perhaps were eyes.

You don’t bring glory or pleasure to God by hiding your abilities or by trying to be someone else. You only bring him enjoyment by being you.
