Comparison is the thief of all joy.

For our own success to be real, it must contribute to the success of others.
The most important thing in any relationship is not what you get but what you give.... In any case, the giving of love is an education in itself.
It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.
To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.
