No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.

A man can't ride your back unless it's bent.

My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.

If you’re looking for answers, for meaning or purpose, for a way to change or to gather hope, for a bit of peace or a little faith, then look in the mirror. The answer is you. You are what you’ve been looking for. You are where change, hope and faith live and breathe.

I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.

If success is not not on your terms–if it looks good to the world but doesn't not feel good in your own heart – it is no success at all.
