“Everything that happens is God’s will. When you realize that, you’re home free.”

Until you can see everything in the world as your friend, your work is not done.

You can only see what you believe—nothing else is possible.

I can’t love you as you have been or will be. I can only love you as you are.

Don’t be careful. You could hurt yourself.

I believe in the power of every human being to end suffering.

We do not mature through age. We mature in awareness.

We are never really in control. We just think we are when things happen to be going our way.

Fear has only two causes: the thought of losing what you have or the thought of not getting what you want.

If our thinking is clear, how could work or money be the problem? Our thinking is all we need to change.

Until we question our stressful thoughts, we remain victims of the images in our head.

There are no physical problems-only mental ones.

Thinking that people are supposed to do or be anything other than what they are is like saying that the tree over there should be the sky. I investigated that and found freedom.

When we believe in our thoughts, when we tell ourselves a story, we suffer. ‘My husband doesn’t respect me.’ ‘I should be thinner.’ Those are stories. When there’s no story, there’s no suffering.

The nature of mind is that it loves everything once it loves itself, just as it opposes everything when it opposes itself.

Peace doesn’t require two people; it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.

Questioning our stressful thoughts, we come to see they’re not true.

Distance, n. The only thing that the rich are willing for the poor to call theirs and keep.

If someone wants to do something, they should just do it as long as they’re happy with it.

When you have a fighter willing to do that, when he is seriously hurt and in pain but still fights, you’ve got a dangerous man on your hands.

People, you can never change the way they feel. Better let them do what they will. For they will, if you let them, steal your heart.

Time only heals the wounds we are willing to face.

Passion is the degree of difficulty we are willing to endure to accomplish the goal.

When you have something in life that you want to accomplish greatly, you have to be willing to give up your happiness I’ve lost all my sensitivity as far as being embarrassed, being shy, you just have to lose that.

I could put everything I got in the bank on my abilities and skill and will, and what I’m capable of doing in the ring.
