Changing Others
Mar 5, 2013


We cause ourselves untold misery whenever we believe
others to be imperfect and try to change them.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

You have no ability whatsoever to change anyone other than yourself. You can only cause yourself great suffering if you try.

You never really understand a person
until you consider things from his point of view.
- Harper Lee

Conventional people are roused to fury
by departure from convention,
largely because they regard such departure
as a criticism of themselves.
- Bertrand Russell

Real love is accepting other people the way they are
without trying to change them.
- don Miguel Ruiz
