“Being around someone who accepts and supports you will remind you to accept and support yourself.”

“Help," he said "is giving part of yourself to somebody who comes to accept it willingly and needs it badly.”

“When you observe yourself you must not condemn or approve what you see. If you tell a lie there is no need to judge your-self. The judge cannot be the judged, and even to accept is to judge.”

“Accept no one’s definition of you, define yourself.”

“By accepting yourself and being fully what you are, your presence can make others happy.”
