People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness.
Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.
Our job in this lifetime is not to shape ourselves into some ideal we imagine we ought to be, but to find out who we really are and become it.
People need loving the most when they deserve it the least.
Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.
Anger hurts the one who is possessed by it more than the one against whom it is directed.
"It is hard to let old beliefs go. They are familiar. We are comfortable with them and have spent years building systems and developing habits that depend on them. Like a man who has worn eyeglasses so long that he forgets he has them on, we forget that the world looks to us the way it does because we have become used to seeing it that way through a particular set of lenses. Today, however, we need new lenses. And we need to throw the old ones away."
"Bad habits are like a comfortable bed, easy to get into, but hard to get out of."Anonymous
"In real love you want the other person’s good. In romantic love you want the other person."
"No one in love is free, or wants to be."
"It is impossible to love and be wise."
You can lead a boy to school but he, himself, must do the thinking.
We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop there is at last a drop which makes it run over, so in a series of kindness there is at last one which makes the heart run over.
