Werner Erhard: "Stop trying to fix yourself. Start being yourself."

The first relationship to heal is always the one with yourself.

Your no is just as important as your yes.

Being fully yourself is the most generous thing you can do for others.

The amount of abuse we tolerate in a partner is equal to the amount of abuse we heap on ourselves. If a woman is used to telling herself that she's ugly, that she fails at everything she tries, and that she's not capable of performing in the world without someone holding her hand, then she'll accept--and even feel most comfortable with--a man who reinforces these beliefs.

As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
