CHARACTER
I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot...and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's precisely why I succeed. #<Author:0x0000556279583d70>

LOVE
Do the things you used to talk about doing but never did. Know when to let go and when to hold on tight. Stop rushing. Don't be intimidated to say it like it is. Stop apologizing all the time. Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph. Spend time with the friends who lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down. Stop giving your power away. Be more concerned with being interested than being interesting. Be old enough to appreciate your freedom, and young enough to enjoy it. Finally, know who you are. #<Author:0x00005562795ecc08>
INSPIRATION
No doubt, unity is something to be desired, to be striven for, but it cannot be willed by mere declarations. #<Author:0x00005562796101a8>
UNITY
We find greatest joy, not in getting, but in expressing what we are. Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not the taking and holding, but in doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself. #<Author:0x0000556279633518>
JOY
Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity. #<Author:0x000055627964d3c8>

The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it. #<Author:0x00007f6c48d3e440>
PATIENCE
The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers. #<Author:0x00007f6c4912be18>
