“I have a lot more patience for others than I have for myself, and I’m much better at bringing out the best in others than in myself. That’s just the kind of person I am. I’m the scratchy stuff on the side of the matchbox. But that’s fine with me. I don’t mind at all. Better to be a first-class matchbox than a second-class match.”

“You will always be your oldest and longest friend, so treat yourself accordingly. You are there for all your ups and all your downs and even when you have doubted your own worth or value you have remained strong. Do not let yourself down. Do not treat yourself insignificantly and do not ignore what you need. You are all you will always have.”
