“If we call ourselves children of God, then others are also children of God.”

True inner joy is self-created It does not rely on any outer circumstances A river is flowing in and through you carrying the message of joy. This divine joy is the sole purpose of life.

If I really want inner peace in my life, then I must not busy myself with what other people do and say.

Be happy! God sees in you another God. God sees you as another God. God sees you and He as One.

The determination in your heroic effort Will permeate your mind and heart Even after your success or failure Is long forgotten.

The problem with fault-finding is that he who finds fault with others is in no way a happy person, Even after he has successfully Accomplished his task.

Silence is not silent. Silence speaks. It speaks most eloquently. Silence is not still. Silence leads. It leads most perfectly.

Inside each one of us is a beautiful flower garden. This is the garden of the soul. With each lesson we learn, the garden grows. As we learn together, our individual gardens form a tranquil paradise.

True success is the only thing that you cannot have unless and until you have offered it to others.

Determination can change your mind. Determination can change your heart. Determination can change your life altogether.

Be universal in your love. You will see the universe to be the picture of your own being.

Each individual has to know himself. He has to know himself as the infinite, eternal and immortal Consciousness.

To be rich is to give a smile with no expectation of return.

Not the power to conquer others but the power to become one with others is the ultimate power.

If you have inner peace, nobody can force you to be a slave to the outer reality.

It is not human nature to enjoy what we get with no effort.

Wherever you go, go with inspiration and aspiration. Whatever you do, do with love and concern. Whomever you see, see with purity’s beauty And responsibility’s glory.

My first job as a kid was going from door to door selling Christmas cards, to raise money for my grandmother’s hip replacement. Because, you know… You break it, you buy it.

I was bad, but I was one of the kids that never got caught. If anyone ever knew I did something, it was because I told them. ‘Cause I’m a really good liar, so I end up snitching on myself.

The ego is like a kid in the basement: It’s best to keep him busy.

The greatest truth must be recognition that in every man, in every child is the potential for greatness.

I didn’t like children. I didn’t think of myself as a child. I didn’t like any of the things other children were interested in.

Women now have choices. They can be married, not married, have a job, not have a job, be married with children, unmarried with children. Men have the same choice we’ve always had: work, or prison.

The family was ordained of God that children might be trained up for himself; it was before the church, or rather the first form of the church on earth.

You go to a truck stop and there are key chains with names on them, and there’s no Finneas. There’s no Billie. They’re little things, but as a kid, you just feel weirdly ostracized.
