There are always two forces warring against each other within us.

It'snot the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes thedifference.

Nevercut what you can untie.

The sun, though it passes through dirty places, yet remains as pure as before.

Thetorment of human frustration, whatever its immediate cause,is the knowledge that the self is in prison, its vital force and ‘mangledmind’ leaking away in lonely, wasteful self-conflict.

A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

Onlywhen you can be extremely pliable and soft can you be extremely hard andstrong.

Livingwith integrity means: not settling for less than what you know you deserve inyour relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speakingyour truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in waysthat are in harmony

The deeper the waters are, the more still they run.

Nothing is a permanent except change.

I'm nota combative person. My long experience has taught me to resolve conflict byraising the issues before I or others burn their boats.

Whateverfailures I have known, whatever errors I have committed, whatever follies Ihave witnessed in private and public life have been the consequence of actionwithout thought.
