What I would say to anybody facing any life challenge or disease is that that is courage - to choose life, to keep looking at what's good.

When you make peace with yourself, the world will mirror back that same level of peace.

Unforgiveness is the poison you drink every day hoping that the other person will die.

Whatever we refuse to recognize about ourselves has a way of rearing its head and making itself known when we least expect it.

Embracing our dark side gives us a new found freedom to be with the darkness in others. For when I can love all of me, I will love all of you.

The greatest act of courage is to be and to ownall of who you are - without apology, without excuses, without masks to cover the truth of who you are.

If you admire greatness in another human being, it is your own greatness you are seeing.

It is time to search out your uniqueness, applaud and acknowledge yourself, and let your own light shine.

Notice what happens when you choose to embrace rather than reject each feeling that arises within you today.

Right now, there is a stronger, more vibrant, more inspired version of you that is wanting and waiting to emerge.

Do not wait another day to become fully engaged in your life, to learn to love and to forgive, and to live with greater purpose & meaning.

When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.

You cannot describe the universe completely with any accuracy unless you're willing to admit that it's both physical and mental in nature.

So now we are pushing economic reform, bank reform and enterprise reform. So we can finish that reform this year, in September or October. Then our economy may be much more, you know, normalized.

Persons who have no desire to live have a very slight chance of recovery. We can continue to extend to them our love, sympathy, and prayers; but ultimately we must respect a person's decision to die.
