Wayne W. Dyer (1940–2015) American writer

“The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) German writer, artist, and politician

“… treat people with understanding when you can, and fake it when you can't
until you do understand.”

Kim Harrison (1966) Pseudonym

“Treat each person with the bhakti and care as if the success or failure of your own spiritual life depends on this. Do not take into concern how they treat you. The manner in which you treat people is the same way you are treating Guru and Krishna.”

Bhakti Tirtha Swami (1950–2005) American Hindu writer

“Intelligence is attractive, but so is life experience. You can’t amass it just by reading a ton of books. But you can live a lot of life in a short time. Travel. Talk to everyone. Collect adventures, and use them to understand the world. That’s how you learn to treat people well. And that’s sexy.”

Nicole Lapin (1984) American journalist
