Imagine how many suicide victims would still be with us, if only the right person said the right thing at the right time.

Why don't we pay more attention to little children and be nice to each other.

When someone is hurt andwe hear ourselves saying"I don't understand, why"PAUSEAt the pause, ask "What am I missing here ?"At the pause, stop judging, stop reacting,get curious and believe their hurt stateAt the pause, tap into their heart and mind.Now see how this pause transforms the conversation.

We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.

If you want to have peace of soul, learn to forgive. Jesus' secret was His ability to see into people's hearts. Seeing their anguish and pain helped Him to understand their nastiness. So He could pity them rather than become angry with them. That is what we have to do: try to understand the pain in people's lives...and not take personally what they do to us.

...I still cannot tap on your walls and discover by the hollow or firm sounds which of your walls are merely decorative, and which ones hold everything up.

When you say "I" and "my" too much, you lose the capacity to understand the "we" and "our".

Your actions will always be what the world sees, but people who choose to see through God's eyes will always have the compassion to understand why.

The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Often, love is a tangled web of lies that only a broken heart would weave. Seldom is dishonesty the whole person, rather it's the pain.

Depression thrives in secrecy but shrinks in empathy.

Mama used to say, you have to know someone a thousand days before you can glimpse her soul.

Love endures every circumstance; Love never loses hope, never loses faith and never gives up.
