“Change your thinking, change your life.”

“Books open your mind, broaden your mind, and strengthen you as nothing else can.”

“One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure.”

“Anything you want to do is possible; fear is not meant to prevent but to motivate your heart into the life you naturally think is improbable”

“Life begins at 40 — but so do fallen arches, rheumatism, faulty eyesight, and the tendency to tell a story to the same person, three or four times.”

“The single most important thing [you can do] is to shift [your] internal stance from "I understand" to "Help me understand." Everything else follows from that. . . . Remind yourself that if you think you already understand how someone feels or what they are trying to say, it is a delusion. Remember a time when you were sure you were right and then discovered one little fact that changed everything. There is always more to learn.”

“People almost never change without first feeling understood.”
