“There is a light within each of us that can never be diminished or extinguished. It can only be obscured by forgetting who we are”

People are doing the best that they can from their own level of consciousness.

First, say to yourself, ‘I’m totally independent of the good or bad opinions of others.’ Second: ‘I’m beneath no one.’ Third: ‘I’m fearless in the face of any and all challenges.’

The Higher Self is whispering to you softly in the silence between your thoughts.

There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle.

In my stillness I am the eternal possibility. In my movement I am the cosmos.

The ultimate goal of all goals is to be happy. If you want to be happy make someone else happy.

The three things you can offer your children to change them: attention, appreciation and affection.

Start by thinking of the smallest possible action you could take; then, take it. Then, choose the next smallest action, and do that.

The world “out there” won’t change until the world “in here” does.

Love without action is meaningless and action without love is irrelevant.

Take responsibility for your last bad decision, and then let it go. Don’t blame others or make excuses for yourself.

Before making a decision, ask inside for guidance. Be patient and await an answer. Act only when you feel calm and certain.

Be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you’re in trouble, because that reason can be taken from you.

Once you know who you really are, being is enough. You feel neither superior to anyone nor inferior to anyone and you have no need for approval because you’ve awakened to your own infinite worth.

Daydream, imagine, and reflect. It’s the source of infinite creativity.

If you knew that miracles could happen, what miracles would you wish for? If you knew that you could have it all and do anything you wanted, what would you choose to have and what would you choose to do?

I think I’m the only player who looks at each and every center and says to myself, ‘That’s barbecued chicken down there.’

But now, I am also learning this: we can be mended. We mend each other.

Nature has endowed each of us with a capacity for kindly feelings: let us not squander them on others.

Remake the world, a little at a time, each in your own corner of the world.

Each one of us is alone in the world. He is shut in a tower of brass, and can communicate with his fellows only by signs, and the signs have no common value, so that their sense is vague and uncertain.

The city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something.

Real friends were the kind where you pick up where you’d left off, whether it be a week since you’d seen each other or two years.

For the warrior, every moment is a challenge to be genuine, and each challenge is delightful. When you let go properly, you can relax and enjoy the challenge.
