135 Quotes by Dan Pearce

I will never grow thick skin so that you don't have to feel bad about being a jerk to me.

Don't hate the bullies. Experience tells me that hating them, or being angry with them, will always make it worse. Instead, put your arm around them. Love them. Tell them that they are valuable. Tell them that you expect great things from them. They will stop the bullying. They will stop, because they will start to love themselves. And people who love themselves don’t bully others.

If I could give one message to the bullies, it would be this: You are incredible. You are bound for great things. You have the potential to be anybody you want to be. There are people who believe in you. There are people who love you. Be what we know you can be, even if you don’t believe in yourself right now.

I will never have greater respect than for the man that realizes he was wrong and graciously admits it without a single excuse.

If you don’t want your past to own you, try owning your past.

Life and love are not about what you know, but about what you know you don't know.

Please do not tell me that you speak to God on my behalf. If a god exists, I am a good enough man to deserve the message myself.

I think if I were to sit down in a bid for power, I would ask myself what I should control if I want to control the people. The answer would be sex. Money. And definitive knowledge of the afterlife. Then I’d make fantastically pleasant rules surrounding every one of them.

I am never going to be less sensitive so that you feel better about being judgmental toward me.
