Silence is so powerful, so important. There is so much to be learned from it.
Hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are.
Real strength has to do with helping others.
All life events are formative. All contribute to what we become, year by year, as we go on growing. As my friend the poet Kenneth Koch once said, You aren't just the age you are. You are all the ages you ever have been!
Honesty is often very hard. The truth is often painful. But the freedom it can bring is worth the trying.
I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers - so many caring people in this world.
I don't want to eat anything that has a mother
We Don't always succeed in what we try, certainly not by the world's standards, but I think you'll find it's the willingness to keep trying that matters most.
Some days, doing "the best we can" may still fall short of what we would like to be able to do, but life isn't perfect on any front-and doing what we can with what we have is the most we should expect of ourselves or anyone else.
Development comes from within. Nature does not hurry but advances slowly.
Deep within us-no matter who we are-there lives a feeling of wanting to be lovable, of wanting to be the kind of person that others like to be with. And the greatest thing we can do is to let people know that they are loved and capable of loving.
I like you just the way you are.
Who you are inside is what helps you make and do everything in life.
In appreciating our neighbor, we're participating in something truly sacred.
