“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”

“Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.”

“He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.”

“As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.”

“In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities.”

“Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk.”

“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.”

“We believe we are hurt when we don't receive love. But that is not what hurts us. Our pain comes when we do not give love. We were born to love. You might say that we are divinely created love machines. We function most powerfully when we are giving love. The world has led us to believe that our wellbeing is dependent on other people loving us. But this is kind of upside down thinking that has caused so many of our problems. The truth is our well being is dependent on our giving love. It is not about what comes back; it is about what goes out!”

“Let me tell you how to love all equally. Do not demand anything of those you love. If you make demands, some will give you more and some less. In that case you will love more those who give you more and less those who give you less. Thus your love will not be the same for all. You will not be able to love all impartially.”

“There needs to be understanding that anger never helps to solve a problem. It destroys our peace of mind and blinds our ability to think clearly. Anger and attachment are emotions that distort our view of reality.”

“Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.”
