Be careful what you say to your children. They may agree with you.

The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance.

Self-acceptance is my refusal to be in an adversarial relationship to myself.

One of the hardest expressions of self-assertiveness is challenging your limiting beliefs.

Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important than the judgment we pass on ourselves.

If you overcome your fear to ask someone for a date, a raise, or help with a project, that is an act of self-assertiveness. You are moving out into life rather than contracting and withdrawing.

Live with integrity, respect the rights of other people, and follow your own bliss.

Integrity is congruence between what you know, what you profess, and what you do.

The greater a child’s terror, and the earlier it is experienced, the harder it becomes to develop a strong and healthy sense of self.

If you face life without confidence in your own powers, you succumb too easily to setbacks and adversity; you lack the will to persevere.

There is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will be to treat others with respect, kindness, and generosity.

Sing through your grief. Don't let your thoughts weigh you down.

Where did it go, the moderate opine? I can't find it here nor there!'Perhaps then it's twixt the false dichotomy?

Vice can be learnt even without a teacher.

We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It's a death trap.

Use anger to emotionalize whatever thing you intend to do in life - being a painter, a poet or a photographer

Sift each of us through the great sieve of circumstance and you have a residue, great or small as the case may be, that is the man or the woman.

Either one lives for politics or one lives off politics.

It's nobody's business how you do something.

Gold is tried by fire, brave men by adversity.

I could never be afraid of you.
