“It's all really very simple. You don't have to choose between being kind to yourself and others. It's one and the same.”

“If kindness has falseness at its base, it is no longer kindness. It is labored courtesy.”

“Eliminate something superfluous from your life.Break a habit.Do something that makes you feel insecure.Carry out an action with complete attention and intensity, as if it were your last.”

“Generosity is, by definition, disinterested.” (p.157)”

“How often – even before we began – have we declared a task “impossible”? And how often have we construed a picture of ourselves as being inadequate? . . . A great deal depends upon the thought patterns we choose and on the persistence with which we affirm them.”
