Something that isn't after them...

Too many people go through life running from something that isn't after them.

When you think everything is someone else’s fault...

When you think everything is someone else’s fault, you will suffer a lot.
- Dalai Lama

To be alive is a grand thing

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, desperately, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing
- Agatha Christie

Beautiful people do not just happen.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.
These persons have an appreciation, sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern.
Beautiful people do not just happen.
- Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

It is because he suffers himself

When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help.
- Thich Naht Hanh

Those who look on...

The world is a dangerous place, 
not because of those who do evil, 
but because of those who look on and do nothing.
Albert Einstein

There is only one way to avoid criticism:

Do nothing
Say notingAnd be nothing.- Aristotle

Our true friends.

“Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives.”
