“Hopeful thinking can get you out of your fear zone and into your appreciation zone.”

“Polite strangers often tell soothing lies about our physical appearance that prevent many of us from facing, discussing and solving our real problems.”

“To complete your daily mental hygiene, observe any part of you that is upset or anxious, and offer that part of yourself the following simple wishes: 'May you be well. May you be happy. May you be free from suffering.' Repeat this until you actually mean it.”

“It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.”

“Fear of something is at the root of hate for others, and hate within will eventually destroy the hater.”

“There is nothing that fear and hope does not permit men to do.”
