Loneliness

"Yes, I guess you could say I am a loner, but I feel more lonely in a crowed room with boring people than I feel on my own." - Henry Rollins

Pride

"I have come to the conclusion that it's a waste of time to have too much pride in anything. Perhaps it's good to have a sense of duty, a jealous zeal to protect or improve, but pride ultimately is only that which stands vulnerable to offense and degradation." - Henry Rollins

"Be Prepared"

"A tree with strong roots can withstand the most violent storm, but the tree can’t grow roots just as the storm appears on the horizon."

- From THE ART OF HAPPINESS

"Love Your Enemies"

"There is no fortitude similar to patience, just as there is no affliction worse than hatred.  Therefore, one must exert one’s best efforts not to harbor hatred towards the enemy, but rather use the encounter as an opportunity to enhance one’s practice of patience and tolerance."

- The Dalai Lama in THE ART OF HAPPINESS
