Vernon Howard
Image
Human sickness is so severe that few can bear to look at it...but those who do will become well.
Vernon Howard

We must become acquainted with our emotional household: we must see our feelings as they actually are, not as we assume they are. This breaks their hypnotic and damaging hold on us.
Vernon Howard
Image

Vernon Howard
Image
Run forward when possible, walk ahead when you can, stagger onward when you must, but never cease your forward movement.
Vernon Howard
Image
You have it made when you don't care whether you have it made or not.
Vernon Howard
Image
You cannot stop destructive actions by others, but you can stop your own destructive reactions to them
Vernon Howard
