"Never compromise your values."

"There shall always be a day and a night until the world meets its ebb and we shall always hope to sleep and wake up to see another day! Such is called life!

"You are the reason of your own good-luck and bad-luck; success and failure; happiness and pain. Your choices are responsible for your present. Don’t blame someone else for your sufferings or failures."

"All my failures as a human being I blame on my father. Life is about accepting responsibility, and it’s time my father started being held accountable for my deficiencies."

"When we fail to set boundaries and hold people accountable, we feel used and mistreated. This is why we sometimes attack who they are, which is far more hurtful than addressing a behavior or a choice."

"The right thing to do and the hard thing to do are usually the same."
