Minimal Maxims

Joshua, Ryan, and T.K.’s pithy, shareable, less-than-140-character responses. Find more quotes from The Minimalists at .

  • Pain shapes the story, but it doesn’t write the ending.
  • Pain is the best gift that nobody asks for.
  • You can’t help someone who isn’t looking for help or willing to change.
  • To love someone is to see them for who they are without trying to change them.
  • Every compliment is an insult to someone.
  • A diagnosis is not a death sentence—it is a pathway toward healing.
  • Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
  • Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.
  • A healthy person wants 10,000 things; a sick person wants only one.
  • Pain is a request for change.
