If you truly loved yourself, you could never hurt another.
There is no intensity of love or feeling that does not involve the risk of crippling hurt. It is a duty to take this risk, to love and feel without defense or reserve.
Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.
No man is hurt but by himself.
Nobody can hurt me without my permission.
The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all.
Money does not heal hearts that have been hurt by love. On the contrary, it offends them…
About these ruins that I see?! Do the words that I write Hurt your tender heart?
As far as you can avoid it, do not give grief to anyone. Never inflict your rage on another. If you hope for eternal rest, feel the pain yourself; but don’t hurt others.
Life is a strange thing. Why this longing for life? It is a game which no man wins. To live is to toil hard and to suffer sore, till old age creeps heavily upon us and we throw down our hands on the cold ashes of dead fires. It is hard to live. In pain the babe sucks his first breath, in pain the old man gasps his last, and all his days are full of trouble and sorrow; yet he goes down to the open arms of death, stumbling, falling, with head turned backward, fighting to the last. And death is kind. It is only life and the things of life that hurt. Yet we love life and we hate death. It is very strange.
Happy is the man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind, and has given up worrying once and for all.
I lived in art, I lived in love, I never hurt a soul.
I regret it when I suppress my feelings too long and they burst forth in ways that are distorted or attacking or hurtful.
We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.
If you're in trouble, or hurt or need - go to the poor people. They're the only ones that'll help - the only ones.
