When a person tells you that you hurt them, you don’t get to decide that you didn’t.

if someone says they’re hurt by your actions, you must believe they’re hurt; you can’t decide for them whether or not they felt hurt in the first place.

You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.

It's not right to hurt or deceive someone who's already been hurt and deceived.

Another person will not hurt you without your cooperation; you are hurt the moment you believe yourself to be.

You don’t control the outcome, only your effort.
You don’t choose their opinions, only your actions.
You don’t decide whether it hurts, only what it means.

Someone else's action should not determine your response.

Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.

People don’t have the power to hurt you. Even if someone shouts abuse at you or strikes you, if you are insulted, it is always your choice to view what is happening as insulting or not. If someone irritates you, it is only your own response that is irritating you. Therefore, when anyone seems to be provoking you, remember that it is only your judgment of the incident that provokes you. Don’t let your emotions get ignited by mere appearances.

You can hurt someone and not even know it

A terrible thing happened to you, but you mustn't let it define your life.

You can't ever tell what's going to hurt people.

It isn’t right to wish pain on other people just because they hurt me first.

You can hurt someone and not even know it.
