Vernon Howard
Image
You can end half your troubles immediately by no longer permitting people to tell you what you want.
Vernon Howard
Image
The power of the present moment is so immense it is capable - when lived in fully - of destroying forever every past mistake and regret.
Vernon Howard
Image
A clear understanding of negative emotions dismisses them.
Vernon Howard
Image
Whenever encountering a troublesome person, do not identify him as being cruel or stupid or rude or anything else like that. Instead, see him as a frightened person.
Vernon Howard
Image
It is against the law to permit weak people to steal your strength. Never permit it.
Vernon Howard
