“We judge others instantly by their clothes, their cars, their appearance, their race, their education, their social status. The list is endless. What gets me is that most people decide who another person is before they have even spoken to them. What's even worse is that these same people decide who someone else is, and don't even know who they are themselves.”
"Most people are like a falling leaf that drifts and turns in the air, flutters, and falls to the ground. But a few others are like stars which travel one defined path: no wind reaches them, they have within themselves their guide and path."
~ Hermann Hesse
“The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do.”
People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.
by H. Jackson Brown, Jr
There's a point in life when you get tired of chasing everyone and trying to fix everything, but it's not giving up, it's realizing that you don't need certain people In your life, Sometimes you have to distance yourself from people that only call when they need something. Fair weather friends only want to come around when they need your sun to shine on their dark and gloomy days. In the end, you'll realize you only have a few true friends. But that's better than having many fake ones.
Then someone shows you who they are believe them; the first time.”
― Maya Angelou
“People aren’t always what you want them to be. Sometimes they disappoint you or let you down, but you have to give them a chance first. You can’t just meet someone and expect them to be everything you’re looking for and then be angry when they’re not every hope and aspiration you projected onto them. It’s foolish to believe that someone will be what you imagine them to be. And sometimes, when you give them a chance, they turn out to be better than you imagined. Different, but better.”
I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.”
Many people have ideas on how others should change; few people have ideas on how they should change.
- Tolstoy
“When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.”
― Donald Miller
“We have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the people who really matter. Too much of the time, we are blinded by our own pursuits of people to love us, people that don't even matter, while all that time we waste and the people who do love us have to stand on the sidewalk and watch us beg in the streets! It's time to put an end to this. It's time for us to let ourselves be loved.”
― C. JoyBell C.
People need to learn that their actions do affect other people. So be careful what you say and do, it's not always just about you.
“People are more difficult to work with than machines. And when you break a person, he can't be fixed.”
“How would your life be different if…You stopped making negative judgmental assumptions about people you encounter? Let today be the day…You look for the good in everyone you meet and respect their journey.”
― Steve Maraboli
" Surround yourself with people who knows your worth. You don't need many people to be happy. Just a few real ones who appreciate you for exactly who you are ".
“The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.”
“When you're surrounded by all these people, it can be lonelier than when you're by yourself. You can be in a huge crowd, but if you don't feel like you can trust anyone or talk to anybody, you feel like you're really alone.”
A wise person knows that there is something to be learned from everyone.

Don't trust people whose feelings change with time... Trust people whose feelings remain the same, even when the time changes.”

― Orson Scott Card

“When someone sees the same people every day, as had happened with him at the seminary, they wind up becoming a part of that person's life. And then they want the person to change. If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.”
― Paulo Coelho
