My definition of success: When your core values and self-concept are in harmony with your daily actions and behaviors.

Happiness is not determined by what's happening around you, but rather what's happening inside you. Most people depend on others to gain happiness, but the truth is, it always comes from within.

Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion; today is special.

Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.

You will never become who you want to be if you keep blaming everyone else for who you are now.

Don't look for someone who will solve all your problems; look for someone who will face them with you.

Many people are so poor because the only thing they have is money.

Making a hundred friends is not a miracle. The miracle is to make a single friend who will stand by your side even when hundreds are against you.

If a person wants to be a part of your life, they will make an obvious effort to do so. Think twice before reserving a space in your heart for people who do not make an effort to stay.

If you expect the world to be fair with you because you are fair, you're fooling yourself. That's like expecting the lion not to eat you because you didn't eat him.

Be happy. Be yourself. If others don't like it, then let them be. Happiness is a choice. Life isn't about pleasing everybody.

A man who refuses light will remain in the darkness even by the side of light!

We complain that the world is an ugly place to live and grow

We treat the things that soak up energy and resources like they're valuable, and the things that generate them like they're disposable. We don't celebrate batteries. And I think that's wrong.

Sometimes family is just not what you were born into.

It's hard to be clear about who you are when you are carrying around a bunch of baggage from the past. I've learned to let go and move more quickly into the next place.

We cannot talk simultaneously about animal rights and the 'humane' slaughter of animals.

This is Life, not Heaven you don't have to be perfect

All men are not homeless, but some men are home less than others.

Forget like a child any injury done by somebody immediately. Never keep it in the heart. It kindles hatred.

The kids are really smart. They are sharp and they're not yet bent over by the system. I think there's a wonderful intelligence in today's youth, and it's a part of growing up.
