Compassion

"Have compassion for everyone you meet, even if they don't want it. What appears bad manners, an ill temper or cynicism is always a sign of things no ears have heard, no eyes have seen. You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone."  - Miller Williams

Love

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away." - Corinthians 14:4-8

Peace

"Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something special in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger." - Christian Larsen

Approval

"To seek approval is to have no resting place, no sanctuary. 

Like all judgment, approval encourages a constant striving. 

It makes us uncertain of who we are and of our true value. 

Approval cannot be trusted. It can be withdrawn at any time no matter what our track record has been. 

It is as nourishing of real growth as cotton candy. 

Yet many of us spend our lives pursuing it."

- Rachel Naomi Remen
