Failing to forgive yourself for certain wrongs you committed in the past can create self-dislike.

What you have suffered after you have healed will make perfect sense. You will be able to smile at how you overcome the tears of pain.

When you forgive, it does not mean that you have submitted, it simply means that you have made a choice to stop bearing any grudge.

You are the custodian of your own happiness. What other people say, do or think does not create a basis for your happiness. It is you who decides your own happiness, just like forgiveness.

The heart is where the journey of forgiveness begins.

Locking ourselves in the situation where we wish for sympathy and want to be looked at as the aggrieved party normally makes us powerless.

The moment we become forgivers, then we are in line to enjoy the benefits of forgiveness.

The idea of forgiveness is a journey that requires patience. If the journey of forgiveness is well travelled, there is a chance that we are bound to change in a very helpful way.

Sometimes we are very convinced that what we went through needs to be re-lived so we end up going back and forth to the demons of the past and eventually we fail to get over them.

Forgiveness does not change the past, that’s for sure, but it does change the future.

The minute we put aside our self-righteousness and move away from being the aggrieved, then we are on a healing process.

Money isn’t everything.

The time to relax is when you don't have time for it.

We need a dramatic improvement in the way we train people who get displaced.

Romance is the icing but love is the cake.

I should not have to flirt with someone while I'm trying to threaten someone else with a gun; it was too hard to do both.

Once someone dreams a dream, it can't just drop out of existence. But if the dreamer can't remember it, what becomes of it?

One must make the warrior walk his everyday walk.

Backyards are as Australian as the Hills Hoists they host, and as individual as those who work and play in them. Whether haven, pantry or playground, they all tell a story.

These are lies, there is not a word of truth in them.

Life's too short to eat anywhere else.
