We have within ourselves as a species, to find the beauty in everything. And once we master it, we will then be some of the gentlest creatures that ever evolved.

It is not my place to judge any person's beliefs, but choose rather to celebrate their ability to believe.

The older I get, the more I believe that the greatest kindness is acceptance.

It is noble to love another without caring to know who gave them breath.

You must love yourself. Each and every day: You must give yourself kindness, compassion, grace, forgiveness, respect and trust. As you learn to love yourself more, the depth and magnitude by which you can love others will also increase. Walk through life always carrying love in your heart, especially towards yourself. When you speak and act from a place of love, people will know. That is what will make them feel loved and appreciated. Love always comes from within. Being more loving towards yourself will also cultivate greater patience, empathy and compassion towards others. If you're having a bad day, try and remedy that by making a special effort to be kinder, and more compassionate to yourself. Give yourself more love. Do something nice for yourself. Always return your heart to a state of love. This will dramatically increase the quality of your life, the relationship you have with yourself and others. When we are more secure, happy and loved we can also give more to others. Always cultivate love and appreciation for yourself. You deserve your own love!

He accepts life in all its facets, in all its climates and colors. He alone does not choose he accepts life unconditionally. He does not shun love; being a man he does not run away from women. As one who has known and experienced God, he alone does not turn his face from war. He is full of love and compassion, and yet he has the courage to accept and fight a war. His heart is utterly non violent, yet he plunges into the fire and fury of violence when it becomes unavoidable. He accepts the nectar, and yet he is not afraid of poison.
