When someone shows you who they are believe them; the first time.
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant.
Do you have the patience to wait until your mud settles and the water is clear?
Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.
To hold, you must first open your hand. Let go.
Life is long, if you know how to use it.
All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me… You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.

The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.
Life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you.

Change is the only constant.
Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is more people who have come alive.
Do not let your difficulties fill you with anxiety, after all it is only in the darkest nights that stars shine more brightly.
We don’t “have” a great day, we “make it” a great day!
Even dust, if piled up, will become a mountain.
