An arrogant person considers himself perfect. This is the chief harm of arrogance. It interferes with a person’s main task in life – becoming a better person.
There’s a constant tension between the excitement of new people and security with one person. If you go with excitement, you create chaos; you hurt people. There’s jealousy, and it gets very messy. If you have security, it can be boring, and you die inside because of all the opportunities missed.
A sense of humor… is needed armor. Joy in one’s heart and some laughter on one’s lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.
Whatever you wanna be, just, at the end of the day, if you’re being a good person, which is not hard to be, and you’re putting positive energy into the world, and you’re appreciative and loving to the people around you that care about you and everybody in general, then it’ll work out.

There is an optical illusion about every person we meet.
No matter how far a person can go the horizon is still way beyond you.
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.
Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.
In my life I’ve learned that true happiness comes from giving. Helping others along the way makes you evaluate who you are. I think that love is what we’re all searching for. I haven’t come across anyone who didn’t become a better person through love.
You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.
Learning is a result of listening, which in turn leads to even better listening and attentiveness to the other person. In other words, to learn from the child, we must have empathy, and empathy grows as we learn.

To love another person is to see the face of God.
I know I may have done some bad things, but I’m not a bad person.
You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands – your own.
Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true.

It is the mark of a truly intelligent person to be moved by statistics.
It is very nearly impossible… to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind.
Without community service, we would not have a strong quality of life. It’s important to the person who serves as well as the recipient. It’s the way in which we ourselves grow and develop.
It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has.
I feel like anything I’m doing in life, I try to stay myself and be as honest and true as I can be, you know, and be a nice person. I’ve always been taught to be kind to people and have an open mind about life.
All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today.
A good teacher is a determined person.
One person with a belief is equal to ninety-nine who have only interests.
Although the life of a person is in a land full of thorns and weeds, there is always a space in which the good seed can grow. You have to trust God.
Everywhere is nowhere. When a person spends all his time in foreign travel, he ends by having many acquaintances, but no friends.
I’m the kind of person who doesn’t really focus on more negativity. I’m a positive person, and I look at things in a positive way.
A diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you actually look forward to the trip.
A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering.
Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person.
Think you of the fact that a deaf person cannot hear. Then, what deafness may we not all possess? What senses do we lack that we cannot see and cannot hear another world all around us?
Much of the time, the things we feel guilty about are not our issues. Another person behaves inappropriately or in some way violates our boundaries. We challenge the behavior, and the person gets angry and defensive. Then we feel guilty.
I’m just a regular person who believes life is simple, and I like a simple life.
I’m not a real person. I’m a legend.
A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn’t go by yourself.
I hate prejudice, discrimination, and snobbishness of any kind – it always reflects on the person judging and not the person being judged. Everyone should be treated equally.
I suppose being fierce is a very good thing, and a very cool thing. But more than fierce, I think I’m a strong person and a strong individual. And that’s what I take with me every day.
Success to me is being a good person, treating people well.
I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free… so other people would be also free.

I am not the richest, smartest or most talented person in the world, but I succeed because I keep going and going and going.
The greatest power that a person possesses is the power to choose.
Victory is always possible for the person who refuses to stop fighting.
A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.
A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.
I’m usually the kind of person where if someone tells me, ‘Oh my God, you have to watch this show. It’s amazing,’ I kind of want to go against it and not watch it. But for ‘Stranger Things,’ I couldn’t resist. I had to watch it.
Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.
Don’t marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can’t live without.
You cannot change a person. Let them be. Let them be the way they are.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
For a dinner date, I eat light all day to save room, then I go all in: I choose this meal and this order, and I choose you, the person across from me, to share it with. There’s a beautiful intimacy in a meal like that.
The secret of my success is that I make other people money. And, never ever, ever, ever be ashamed about trying to earn as much as possible for yourself, if the person you’re working with is also making money. That’s life!
Maybe it’s stress or anger or adrenaline or disillusionment or a bullying nature or simple fear of getting killed themselves, but there is a problem if a cop cannot tell the difference between a menacing gangster and the far more common person they encounter whose life is a little frayed and messy.
An ignorant person is one who doesn’t know what you have just found out.
At the end of the day, if you feel like you’re a good person, and your intentions are good, then that’s all that matters.
Start living now. Stop saving the good china for that special occasion. Stop withholding your love until that special person materializes. Every day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute, every breath, is a gift from God.
Middle age is when you’ve met so many people that every new person you meet reminds you of someone else.
