Quote by -Salma Hayek

Quote by -Salma Hayek
I feel like I look 16 sometimes, which is a bummer, because I would love to date older guys.
Quote by -Selena Gomez
No one can doubt that the sufferings of the sober, virtuous woman, in legal subjection to the mastership of a drunken, immoral husband and father over herself and children, not only from physical abuse, but from spiritual shame and humiliation, must be such as the man himself can not possibly comprehend.
Quote by -Susan B. Anthony
"When any person suffers for someone in greater need, that person is a human."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
One morning, in February 1986, out of nowhere, I experienced a realization. In an instant, I discovered that when I believed my stressful thoughts, I suffered, but when I questioned them, I didn't suffer.
Quote by -Byron Katie
When we believe in our thoughts, when we tell ourselves a story, we suffer. 'My husband doesn't respect me.' 'I should be thinner.' Those are stories. When there's no story, there's no suffering.
Quote by -Byron Katie
Suffering over things that have happened to us is nothing more than an argument with the past.
Quote by -Byron Katie
The ability to understand the cause of your own suffering gives you the ability to understand ours.
Quote by -Byron Katie
The way to truly help someone is for me to not get immersed in their suffering.
Quote by -Byron Katie
The only time we suffer is when we believe a thought that argues with what is. When the mind is perfectly clear, what is is what we want.
Quote by -Byron Katie
Any story that you tell about yourself causes suffering. There is no authentic story.
Quote by -Byron Katie
Every mind deserves to be free. When the mind is free, that's the end of suffering.
Quote by -Byron Katie
When you realize that suffering and discomfort are the call to inquiry, you may actually begin to look forward to uncomfortable feelings. You may even experience them as friends coming to show you what you have not yet investigated thoroughly enough.
Quote by -Byron Katie
It is hard to imagine a world without forgiveness. Without forgiveness life would be unbearable. Without forgiveness our lives are chained, forced to carry the sufferings of the past and repeat them with no release.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
As we follow a genuine path of practice, our sufferings may seem to increase because we no longer hide from them or from ourselves. When we do not follow the old habits of fantasy and escape, we are left facing the actual problems and contradictions of our life.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
We must especially learn the art of directing mindfulness into the closed areas of our life.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
We can easily become loyal to our suffering … but it's not the end of the path.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
We must look at our life without sentimentality, exaggeration or idealism. Does what we are choosing reflect what we most deeply value?
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
When we feel anger toward someone, we can consider that they are a being just like us, who has faced much suffering in life.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
We each need to make our lion's roar - to persevere with unshakable courage when faced with all manner of doubts and sorrows and fears - to declare our right to awaken.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
Your happiness and suffering depend on your actions and not on my wishes for you.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
With growing awareness, you can see where you're caught or where you suffer or where you create suffering. You can then turn toward the difficulties that arise in your life with compassion, bow, and say, these too are part of human incarnation.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
Without being aware of it, you take many things as being your identity: your body, your race, your beliefs, your thoughts.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
The person who betrayed you is sunning themselves on a beach in Hawaii and you're knotted up in hatred. Who is suffering?
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
Peace requires us to surrender our illusions of control. We can love and care for others but we cannot possess our children, lovers, family, or friends. We can assist them, pray for them, and wish them well, yet in the end their happiness and suffering depend on their thoughts and actions, not on our wishes.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
Finding a way to extend forgiveness to ourselves is one of our most essential tasks. Just as others have been caught in suffering, so have we. If we look honestly at our life, we can see the sorrows and pain that have led to our own wrongdoing. In this we can finally extend forgiveness to ourselves; we can hold the pain we have caused in compassion. Without such mercy, we will live our own life in exile.
