“But if you have no relationship with the living things on this earth, you may lose whatever relationship you have with humanity.”
“Obviously, the choice between human selfishness and divine Selfishness is not about leaving or not leaving a relationship. More important are the day-to-day opportunities in the course of relationship. It is really the choice of living from the heart or living from fear. And how do you live from fear? Saying "yes" when your heart wants to say "no." Saying "no" when your heart wants to say "yes." By not listening to your heart (i.e., what is best for your soul), you compromise your truth, and cause suffering in the relationship. You may be afraid of hurting your friend. You may be afraid of losing their love and friendship. Whatever it is you are afraid of, it is still fear that is ruling you, rather than love.”
“The most powerful relationship you will ever have is the relationship with yourself.”
“Things change when someone special comes into your life. Both sides have to give up things. The one thing you don't give up in a good relationship is you--whatever makes you most you. - Jim Olsten (Jane's Grandpa)”
“You may lose the people you love. You may lose the things you have. But no matter what happens, never lose yourself.”
“Your relationships with others are always a direct reflection of the relationship you have with yourself.”
