There are two ways to make someone important in our lives ... we can either love them or hate them.

Courage isn't the absence of fear, but a decision that what we want is more important than what we are afraid of.

Selfish is caring for ourselves at others' expense ... Self-care is taking care of ourselves so that we can be there for others.

The journey of life is both too short and too precious to be sidetracked by guilt trips.

Until we become clear about our own worth and value, we will forever be searching for it in the eyes of others.

The way to encourage people to be accountable is to engage the responsible, accountable, trustworthy part of their brain.

When we take care of ourselves like we would take care of someone we love, the quality of our living and our giving goes up.

Regardless of the problem, as long as our solution requires someone else to change, we will never know the power and promise of self-determination.

As long as we define stress as how some person or situation is making us feel, we will have to change the world around us to find peace of mind.

Stress is an indicator of our belief in the value and validity of our worries and fears.

Never define people or situations in terms of their effect on you, unless you want to give them the power to make you feel that way.

The mind is a universe, and it has the power to completely create any possibility.

Nothing in my life has ever made me want to commit suicide more than people's reaction to my trying to commit suicide.

It would be either a very skilled or very unwise man to steal from an assassin.” - Taliesin

One never finds anything perfectly pure and ... exempt from danger.

I'm going to be prayerful about it. Whatever decision I make hopefully is the best decision I can make for my family and the fans and everybody.

Common Core is a big win for education.

Inspiration comes from everywhere always. But it's strongest in love and in its absence.

Once I talked to the inmates of an insane asylum in Hartford. I have talked to idiots a thousand times, but only once to the insane.

I know many of my female friends do not like being referred to as "ladies."
