We're so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take time to enjoy where we are.”

The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships.”

Living with integrity means: Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe.”

Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.”

To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.”

“Don't marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can't live without.”

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.”

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.”

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.”

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.”

Do not seek the because - in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions.”

The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.”
