If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.

You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from.

The world won't give you any gifts. If you want to have a life, steal it.

You have to fail in order to practice being brave.

After we terrorize ourselves with self-doubt, our only relief is to get moving again.

There is so much to be grateful for, words are poor things.

Compassion is an unstable emotion. It needs to be translated into action, or it withers.

The greatest reward of righteousness is peace of mind.

In all things it is better to hope than to despair.

Never surrender to the flow of time. Never put off what you have decided to do.

We must believe that we are gifted for something.

A friend is, as it were, a second self.
