“Human reasoning can never answer the mysteries of our lives.”

If you don’t appreciate what you have in life right now, whatever it is, you will never realize your purpose. Without appreciation, you will never become strong enough to respect yourself.

The love that flows through your heart purifies not only your own spirit, but the love you share with others.

Your spirit is the part of you that seeks meaning and purpose. It’s the part drawn to hope, that will not give in to despair.

While we measure our own success in terms of our personal comfort and security, the universe measures our success by how much we have learned.

Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise.

Master your responses to external events–don’t attempt to control them.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.

Spiritual maturity is measured not by the sophistication of a person’s opinions, but by their genuineness and the courage necessary to express and maintain them.

People know when they’ve betrayed themselves. They are very much aware when they are not honest with themselves. They hear the voice that says, “You shouldn’t have said that” or “You know that’s not right.”

If you betray yourself, you are no different from the people who hurt you. What’s the difference between those people who hurt you and what you are doing to yourself?

Developing personal power includes learning not to negotiate your self-worth for the sake of someone else or sell yourself short for a job.

You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional hope that you’ll get to tomorrow. Intention without action is useless.

Act on your inner guidance, and give up your need for ‘proof’ that your inner guidance is authentic. The more you ask for proof, the less likely you are to receive any.

Healing requires taking action-it is not a passive event.

Become mindful that remaining in a conflict is a choice.

The spirit for me is the eternal self. And when one incarnates, an aspect comes with that incarnation, that’s called the soul. And together the mind, the emotional body, and the soul form the energy field that lives within this thing called the human body.

The cynic puts all human actions into two classes – openly bad and secretly bad.

The origin of a modern party is anthropological: humans meet and share food to lower hostility between them and indicate friendship.

In human life, you will find players of religion until the knowledge and proficiency in religion will be cleansed from all superstitions, and will be purified and perfected by the enlightenment of real science.

The human soul is God’s treasury, out of which he coins unspeakable riches.

I believe in Democracy because it releases the energies of every human being.

Character, courage, industry and perseverance are the four pillars on which the whole edifice of human life can be built and failure is a word unknown to me.

The news media in general are liberal. If you want to be a reporter, you are going to see poverty and misery, and you have to be involved in the human condition.

I don’t think human beings are bad. They’re weak. And that’s what makes ’em bad.
