It remains incredibly hard to succeed in something if we do not have fun doing it.

When we begin looking at angry people as children who cannot control their tempter, it becomes almost impossible to get back at them. Because this very awareness of their anger shields us from being dragged into their storm. Essentially, most are angry at themselves. Their fight is not really with others, but it’s within them. That’s all. If we are not able to respond with love, then assuming the observer position offers quite the amusing spectacles.

The more you know yourself, the more you’ll love your own company.

The feeling of being loved, even by your own self, catalyses a certain joie de vivre. People then tend to become better versions of themselves. In return, it makes loving others a much more natural process. 
Truly, learning how to love oneself is the ultimate gift 
you can give yourself as well as others.

Most people who hold that childish kind of love for their country have never left it.

Hearts that bend will always mend.
