Love

When someone you trust sees your potential and says they believe you can be that person, it opens up a path and inspires you to become that version of yourself.

Expertise is powerful, but love always wins.

Carry others deeply in your heart as you make your way in this world, and remember that you are being carried in others' hearts as well.

The eulogy virtues are the ones people will say about you when you're gone. Will they say you were a kind person? Did you love freely? Were you a loyal friend? Did you live a life of giving?

You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart.

Love should be your North Star. Let it guide you. What does it mean to love people we don't know? It means letting go of fear and embracing our shared humanity.

Only love can give you the power to take on these kinds of odds.

I have never known anybody who got to the age of 70 or so and had all of the people love him or her that they wanted to have in that position, that ever felt like anything but a success.

Build your tribe. They will keep you alive.

When people show unhidden joy in their accomplishments and good fortune and blessings, witnessing it feels almost intimate, and that is why all graduations, for all the pomp and ceremony and brass bands, all of them are so personally moving every year.

The secret of successful politics: Be moved more by what you love than what you hate.

Surround yourself with people who trust and get you, who get your demons and believe in you — not just in what you have to offer them. Keep them close.
