“A human being is only interesting if he's in contact with himself. I learned you have to trust yourself, be what you are, and do what you ought to do the way you should do it. You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it.” |
“The inability to open up to hope is what blocks trust, and blocked trust is the reason for blighted dreams.” |
“You can't shake hands with a clenched fist.” |
“To sit patiently with a yearning that has not yet been fulfilled, and to trust that, that fulfillment will come, is quite possibly one of the most powerful "magic skills" that human beings are capable of. It has been noted by almost every ancient wisdom tradition.” |
“Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. ” |
“Life has meaning only if one barters it day by day for something other than itself.” |

“No one's head aches when he is comforting another.” |
“The value of compassion cannot be over-emphasized. Anyone can criticize. It takes a true believer to be compassionate. No greater burden can be borne by an individual than to know no one cares or understands.” |
“Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.” |
“The brain may take advice, but not the heart, and love having no geography, knows no boundaries: weight and sink it deep, no matter, it will rise and find the surface.” |

“Loyalty means nothing unless it has at its heart the absolute principle of self-sacrifice.” |
“The best things in life are never rationed. Friendship, loyalty, love, do not require coupons.” |
