Go within every day and find the inner strength so that the world will not blow your candle out.

Katherine Dunham

Pain is physical; suffering is mental. Beyond the mind there is no suffering. Pain is essential for the survival of the body, but none compels you to suffer. Suffering is due entirely to clinging or resisting; it is a sign of our unwillingness to move on, to flow with life.

Nisargadatta Maharaj

To love yourself right now, just as you are, is to give yourself heaven. Don't wait until you die. If you wait, you die now. If you love, you live now.

Alan Cohen

Don't surrender all your joy for an idea you used to have about yourself that isn't true anymore.

Cheryl Strayed

Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals.

Fulton J. Sheen

The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself.
