Famous Jeremy Gove Quotes

“In a self-focused world, we place ourselves at the center of our own personal universe. We are in control, at least that’s what we think. We are the central character, the protagonist of the story, and the rest of the world is just our contextual stage, built to serve our uniquely complex purpose. But we fail to realize everyone else enjoys relationships just as deep, dreams just as real, a purpose just as driving, and complexities just as beautiful as our own.”

“It’s found in several works and referenced by several authors, but I call it the Principle of Best Intention. It works like this: No matter what it looks like, always begin by assuming your partner has your best interests at heart. Assume they mean only good toward you. That principle effortlessly disarms offense, minimizes misunderstandings, softens hard words, and sweetens bitter attitudes. Suddenly, trust runs deeper and love flows stronger, all because we choose to recognize the good.”
