“People like to say that the conflict is between good and evil. The real conflict is between truth and lies.”

Love is unknown. To open the heart in trust is unknown. They say love hurts. It doesn’t have to.

You know that if you lie to yourself, surely other people lie to themselves. And if they lie to themselves, they will lie to you also.

We never stop to consider that our beliefs are only a relative truth that’s always going to be distorted by all the knowledge we have stored in our memory.

Life is very, very simple and easy to understand, but we complicate it with the beliefs and ideas that we create.

Life is like dancing. If we have a big floor, many people will dance. Some will get angry when the rhythm changes. But life is changing all the time.

I don’t know what I am. And it’s not important.

We only see what we want to see; we only hear what we want to hear. Our belief system is just like a mirror that only shows us what we believe.

Always Do Your Best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

I am here and I’m alive. That’s enough.

In our development, as we grow throughout our lives, the structure of our beliefs becomes very complicated, and we make it even more complicated because we make the assumption that what we believe is the absolute truth.

Whatever you perceive, you always make a story with yourself as the main character, and that dictates your life. Then when you read ‘The Four Agreements’, you hear another voice beneath the story, the voice that comes from your integrity, your spirit.

Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love.

Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive – the risk to be alive and express what we really are.

Humans believe so many lies because we aren’t aware. We ignore the truth or we just don’t see the truth. When we are educated, we accumulate a lot of knowledge, and all that knowledge is just like a wall of fog that doesn’t allow us to perceive the truth, what really is.

Every human is an artist. And this is the main art that we have: the creation of our story.

Poverty, disease, sorrow, imprisonment and other evils are the fruits borne by the tree of one’s own sins.

The best philanthropy is constantly in search of the finalities-a search for a cause, an attempt to cure evils at their source.

Eating meat and drinking liquor are demonic vices. Those indulging in drink lose all sense of propriety, have no compassion or love and become demons.

Those born blind cannot see; similarly blind are those in the grip of lust. Proud men have no perception of evil; and those bent on acquiring riches see no sin in their actions.

Government is an evil; it is only the thoughtlessness and vices of men that make it a necessary evil. When all men are good and wise, government will of itself decay.

When you feel you cannot do good, at least desist from doing evil.

Holy wisdom confounds Satan and all his wickednesses.

The violence and injustice of the rulers of mankind is an ancient evil, for which, I am afraid, the nature of human affairs can scarce admit a remedy.
