Please yourself, and you will go far. Please those who matter, and you will go further. But, please God, and you will go the furthest.

To hate is human, to love is divine.

Love is mightier than hate; it doesn't need a sword to conquer.

Critics work for you;they reveal your weaknesses.Critics work against you;they envy your strengths.Wisdom works for you;it counters your weaknesses.Faith works for you;it increases your strengths.Forgive those who hurt you;compassion is the offspring of blessings.Love those who hate you;love is the offspring of great blessings.Be grateful for whatever you have;much is made from little.Be grateful for the plenty you have;thankfulness makes room for more.

Become what your enemies dread you'll become.

Love is blind, but sometimes, so is hate.

Never envy anyone's gifts, or you will become a prisoner of their success.

Never envy someone's gifts or you will become a prisoner of their talents.

Always see people smarter than you as gifts, not competition.
