“When writing the story of your life, don’t let anyone else hold the pen.”

“Be nice to people on your way up because you meet them on your way down.”

“How do you move on? You move on when your heart finally understands that there is no turning back.”

“Do not expect people to tell you the truth because they also lie to themselves.”

“Sometimes people think they know you. They know a few facts about you, and they piece you together in a way that makes sense to them. And if you don’t know yourself very well, you might even believe that they are right. But the truth is, that isn’t you. That isn’t you at all.”

“Show respect to people who don’t even deserve it; not as a reflection of their character, but as a reflection of yours.”

“Having a soft heart in a cruel world is courage, not weakness.”

“Please do yourself a favour. Don’t lower your standards to fit in. Don’t shrink who you are to make others feel comfortable. Do find and surround yourself with people who like you just the way you are and who encourage you to keep growing.”

“It’s much better to do good in a way that no one knows anything about it.”
