Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.
A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself -- to laugh with me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because of me; to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart
Each of our acts makes a statement as to our purpose.
You are the only you ... You are the best you. You will always be the second best anyone else.
Only when we give joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means.
There are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our encouragement, who will need our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give.
The hardest battle you are ever going to have to fight is the battle to be just you.
The easiest thing in the world to be is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.
Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.
No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch.
