“Every bird that sings, sings for you. Every breeze that blows, blows for you. Every sunray shines for you. If you only knew how loved you are.”

The one good thing about failure is that it makes you consider doing things a different way.

In every heart there is an inner room, where we can hold our greatest treasures and our deepest pain.

To the ego mind, surrender means giving up. To the spiritual mind, surrender means giving in and receiving.

If our emotional stability is based on what other people do or do not do, then we have no stability. If our emotional stability is based on love that is changeless and unalterable, then we attain the stability of God.

It takes courage…to endure the sharp pains of self discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives.

The meaningful question is never what we did yesterday, but what we have learned from it and are doing today.

Don’t be concerned that things appear to be falling apart: this has to happen in order for something new and wonderful to emerge.

Success means we go to sleep at night knowing that our talents and ablities were used in a way that served others.

Sometimes when we don’t know the answer, it’s time to simply be with the question.

With every thought we think, we either summon or block a miracle. It is not our circumstances, then, but rather our thoughts about our circumstances, that determine our power to transform them.

Love and fear represent two different lenses through which to view the world. Which I choose to use will determine what I think I see.

On any given day, in any given moment, something could happen that opens up for you an entirely new path. Be still, be alert, be ready.

No one is any more or any less important than you are.

Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth.

To be a princess is to play at life. To be a queen is to be a serious player.The purpose of life as a woman is to ascend to the throne and rule with heart.

Sad birds still sing.

Without prayer, without faith in the Almighty, the civil rights movement would have been like a bird without wings.

I’m an early bird and I’m a night owl so I’m wise and I have worms.

It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds.

Time is swift, it races by; Opportunities are born and die. Still you wait and will not try – A bird with wings who dares not rise and fly.

Only a foolish dog barks at a flying bird.

Birds scream at the top of their lungs in horrified hellish rage every morning at daybreak to warn us all of the truth, but sadly we don’t speak bird.

The sun is always shining. We have oxygen, trees, birds. There’s so much good things on Earth, still. We haven’t destroyed everything.
