“All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you.

You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy.”
“It makes no sense to worry about things you have no control over because there's nothing you can do about them, and why worry about things you do control? The activity of worrying keeps you immobilized.”

“Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.”
“Our lives are a sum total of the choices we have made.”
