“We are slow to believe that which if believed would hurt our feelings.”

“Of what use is a philosopher who doesn't hurt anybody's feelings?”

“Rest as soon as there is pain.”

“Those who cry the loudest are not always the ones who are hurt the most”

“We can carry the burden of hurt throughout our lives. We can make the hurt that we have experienced the defining aspect of our stories of ourselves. That means that somebody else gets to say who we are, somebody else gets to decide how we feel, and somebody else gets to decide how we see the world. Forgiveness not only frees us from the burden of someone else's opinion of us, but it allows us the opportunity to really write a story of ourselves that we can love, enjoy, relish, and live into.”

“Change is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast.In the pool where you least expect it, will be a fish.”

“Happy is the man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind, and has given up worrying once and for all.”
