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.
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.
Think about what people are doing on Facebook today. They're keeping up with their friends and family, but they're also building an image and identity for themselves, which in a sense is their brand. They're connecting with the audience that they want to connect to. It's almost a disadvantage if you're not on it now.
Remain calm, serene, always in command of yourself. You will then find out how easy it is to get along.
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.
As you move outside of your comfort zone, what was once the unknown and frightening becomes your new normal.
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.
Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer to your goal.
A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.
