What Words of Wisdom Have Helped You?

I was just skimming through our book IN SICKNESS AS IN HEALTH, and the final chapter contains words of wisdom from our interviewees.  Some of them take my breath away.

Here are a couple of my favorites:

1. "Think like a person who is going to be around."
2. "You can have wholeness without recovery."

And here's one my primary care doctor said to me during some dark times that I held onto like it was my blankie:

"The body heals.  That's the only thing it knows how to do."


What are some of the most useful or moving words of wisdom or pieces of advice you've gotten, from any source?
