“Compassion is the basis of morality.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer

“Whenever you feel a negative emotion be alone in a room and just sit down with it and feel. Don't judge it, criticize it, intellectualize it, explain it away. Allow yourself to feel the pain. It's okay. Accompany it - breathe into it - and after a while, you'll feel the anger or fear or sadness lose it's urgency and power. Allow God to tenderly embrace you in your pain. And then, at the right time, you can let go.”
― Bo Sanchez, You Have The Power to Create Love: Take Another Step on the Simple Path to Happiness

“Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.”
― Truman Capote
