(page 27)
If you go around being afraid, you're never going to enjoy life. You have only one chance, so you've got to have fun.
When you're green, your growing. When you're ripe, you rot.
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.
Communication is a skill that you can learn. It's like riding a bicycle or typing. If you're willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of evry part of your life.

It's very important in life to know when to shut up. You should not be afraid of silence.
You don't have to deserve your mother's love. You have to deserve your father's.
You can't please everyone. When you're too focused on living up to other people's standards, you aren't spending enough time raising your own. Some people may whisper, complain and judge.

I think when we wake up in the morning, we can choose between fear and love. Every morning. And every morning, if you choose one, that doesn't define you until the end... The way you end your story is important. It's important that we choose love over fear, because love is the answer.
Life is short and you've got to get the most out of it.
I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?
Energy is so important. If you don't have it, don't bother with rock and roll.
If your partner is angry with you, recognize that his anger is a misdirected plea for love. Your partner's simply upset because he feels something you said or did was a sign of not loving him enough.
Deficiency motivation doesn't work. It will lead to a life-long pursuit of try to fix me. Learn to appreciate what you have and where and who you are.
If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.
