“He said to people: you’re free. And they said hooray, and then he showed them what freedom costs and they called him a tyrant and, as soon as he’d been betrayed, they milled around a bit like barn-bred chickens who’ve seen the big world outside for the first time, and then they went back into the warm and shut the door...”

“Not being offended is a way of saying, “I have control over how I’m going to feel, and I choose to feel peaceful regardless of what I observe going on. When you feel offended, you’re practicing judgment. You judge someone else to be stupid, insensitive, rude, arrogant, inconsiderate, or foolish, and then you find yourself upset and offended by their conduct. What you may not realize is that when you judge another person, you do not define them. You define yourself as someone who needs to judge others.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace

“Some of us get that once in a lifetime love, and while you have it you should embrace it, treasure it, help it grow, because life can be fickle, and you never know when it will be taken away from you. You should enjoy the time you are given, and remember the times you lost, but never lose yourself.”
