To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves there lies the great, singular power of self-respect.

Life goes on within you and without you.

Your success is not determined by your past mistakes; it's determined by your willingness to learn from them and move forward.

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none

If you push me away I promise you, you won’t find me where you left me. My heart is big , but not big enough to deal with people, who decide to love me when it’s convenient for them.

To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.

The powers of the mind are like the rays of the sun when they are concentrated they illumine.
