Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. <br /> <br /> <br /> Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. <br /> <br /> The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed. <br /> <br /> Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth. ~Benjamin Disraeli<br /> <br /> <br /> Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don&#039;t matter and those who matter don&#039;t mind. ~Dr. Seuss<br /> <br /> <br /> Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong. ~Peter T.
