"Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart."

"The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say My tooth is aching than to say “My heart is broken."

"Courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality."

"I have learned now that while those who speak about one's miseries usually hurt, those who keep silence hurt more."

"You are free to choose, but the choices you make today will determine what you have, be, and do in the tomorrow of your life."

"My tongue will tell the anger of my heart, or else my heart concealing it will break."
