“Your actions are your own. Your choices are your own. Each of us carries a burden of guilt for decisions made or not made. You can let that rule your whole life or you can put it behind you and move on. Only a madman lets jealousy determine the course of his existence. Only a weak man blames others for his own errors.”
“Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag.”
“You can only control your own actions. Not other people’s reactions.”
“You can sing only what you are. You can paint only what you are. You must be what your experiences, your environment, and your heredity have made you. For better or for worse, you must play your own little instrument in the orchestra of life.”
“You're only responsible for your own actions. You can't control how someone else reacts to what you do. You made a choice. Stand by it.”
“You can't love anyone or anything until you love your own existence first. Love can only grow out of a respect for your own life.”
