From Rising Strong: How the Ability to Reset Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead:
- "Compassionate people ask for what they need. They say no when they need to, and when they say yes, they mean it. They're compassionate because their boundaries keep them out of resentment."
- "Just because someone isn't willing or able to love us, it doesn't mean that we are unlovable."
- "Just because we didn't measure up to some standard of achievement doesn't mean that we don't possess gifts and talents that only we can bring to the world. Just because someone failed to see the value in what we can create or achieve doesn't change its worth or ours."
