“The mind will enchain yourself, others or both. Your heart will set you / them free.”

Life is the best and only timekeeper.

While you’ll feel compelled to charge forward it’s often a gentle step back that will reveal to you where you and what you truly seek.

Sometimes in life there’s no problem and sometimes in there is no solution. In this space – between these apparent poles – life flows.

You cannot pour more water into a full cup without causing a spillage.

In life, one has a choice to take one of two paths: to wait for some special day-or to celebrate each special day.

All pursuits are pointless and fruitless unless and until love and compassion are found and then are the foundation and destination of all you do.

There’s no alternative to being yourself. Accept it, honour it, value it – and get on with it.

People will ask you the question ‘how is life treating you?’ But my question is ‘how are you treating life?’ On that your happiness rests

You won’t ever build your confidence from a perception of lack. For it grows and evolves from realising who you are and what you already have.

By simple mathematics giving is key to the world you seek to live in. If I take I alone gain. If I give or share then two at least are enriched.

What people say and feel about you when you’ve left a room is precisely your job while you are in it.

We’re merely one tree with various types, shapes and sizes of leaves that all wave differently in the breeze.

The head thinks. The heart knows.

Our abilities and possibilities are at one and the same time very limited and quite infinite dependent on the depth of our relationship to our ‘self’, others and life itself.

Our life stories are at one and the same time reality, fallacy and fantasy.

While being you and truly sharing what you do will bring happiness to others, you won’t find contentment merely trying to keep others happy.

But, in fact, discipline is the pathway to freedom.

To write history one must be more than a man, since the author who holds the pen of this great justiciary must be free from all preoccupation of interest or vanity.

order without freedom, even if sustained by momentary exaltation, eventually creates its own counterpoise; yet freedom cannot be secured or sustained without a framework of order to keep the peace.

America, goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

I’ve been known to wear pajamas onstage for the sole reason of wanting to make sure I’m free enough to execute new things vocally on stage and give my best performance possible.

Although discipline demands control and asceticism, it actually results in freedom. When you have the discipline to get up early, you are rewarded with more free time.

I keep my opinions to myself. I’ve always said that everyone is free to think what you like.

Freedom lies within.
