“True friends are those who rid us of life’s burdens.
Start today so that everything works out tomorrow.
Keep going no matter what anyone does or says to hold you back because one day when it’s all over, they’ll be asking how did they forget about this great thing that happened.

Don’t be pushed by your problems, swim in them.
The only person who knows your path to greatness is you.
Don’t limit me because of my disabilities, let my abilities exceed your expectations.
Don’t get mad at your failures, get up and do it again tomorrow.
You can’t be a bird, then cry about not being able to fly.
Without knowledge, wisdom cannot be obtained.
Success is not about wealth or fame, it’s about making a difference in other people’s lives.”

“I think that most of us can say that our lives have been touched by an animal that we’ve loved. We should turn that appreciation towards other animals, too. How many people that eat hamburgers have ever really seen a cow nurture its young? It’s an almost spiritual experience.”

“I just believe in treating others well. That’s all. I consider all living beings just as important as myself.”

“There used to be this Native American belief that consuming another person’s flesh would inalterably change you into an actual monster. As an extension of that belief, does this make the consumption of any flesh an evil act?”

“In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.”

“The faults of a superior man are like the sun and moon. They have their faults, and everyone sees them; they change and everyone looks up to them.”

“What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others.”

“Great as heaven and earth are, men still find some things in them with which to be dissatisfied. Thus it is that, were the superior man to speak of his way in all its greatness, nothing in the world would be found able to embrace it, and were he to speak of it in its minuteness, nothing in the world would be found able to split it.”

“Earnest in practicing the ordinary virtues, and careful in speaking about them, if, in his practice, he has anything defective, the superior man dares not but exert himself; and if, in his words, he has any excess, he dares not allow himself such license.”
