Quit thinking that you must halt before the barrier of inner negativity. You need not. You can crash through... whatever we see a negative state, that is where we can destroy it.
— Vernon Howard
When you're young, you don't have much sense. You don't have any reasoning power. You don't have any ability to take a blow, an insult, a hurt in the right way. There is no way a child can do that. All a child can do is feel the pang of it, the heartache of it.
Beauty is only skin deep, but it's a valuable asset if you're poor or haven't any sense.
You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.
