Saying ‘yes’ is how things grow. Stephen Colbert

Embrace who you are, and if people don’t understand you, that’s their own problem, that’s their own insecurities. They’re really the one with the problem – the people who are judging you and saying negative things to you, they are really the people with the problem, not you at all. Maria Brink
