You don't meet the people you love, you recognize them.

Joy is not in things, it is in us.

Love... is the honoring of others in a way that grants them the grace of their own autonomy.

You mustn't confuse a single failure with a final defeat.

Maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but rather what we're capable of when we least expect it.

Fear has a very concrete power of keeping us from doing and saying the things that are our purpose.

Act as if someone just said there’s no reason to be afraid.

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention… To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.

To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.

You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people, if you don't serve the people.

Love comes… when you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.

My dark days made me strong. Or maybe I already was strong, and they made me prove it.
