“The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don’t let them put you in that position.”

Living, loving & learning.

Most of us remain strangers to ourselves, hiding who we are, and ask other strangers, hiding who they are, to love us.

There is nothing that is an accident.

When we cling to pain we end up punishing ourselves.

We are born for love, but it will die if not nurtured.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Time has no meaning in itself unless we choose to give it significance.

Don’t brood. Get on with living and loving. You don’t have forever.

We created time, and now we have become the slave of time.

Live nutty. Just occasionally. Just once in a while. And see what happens. It brightens up the day.

We all need each other.

Change is the end result of all true learning.

Man is happiest when he is creating. In fact, the highest state of which man is capable lies in the creative act.

Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time. It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.

We need others. We need others to love and we need to be loved by them. There is no doubt that without it, we too like the infant left alone, would cease to grow, cease to develop, choose madness, and even death.

Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.

I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it’s very difficult to find anyone.’

Mindfulness isn’t difficult, we just need to remember to do it.

Difficulties increase the nearer we get to the goal.

Difficulties are opportunities to better things; they are stepping-stones to greater experience, When one door closes, another always opens; as a natural law it has to, to balance.

What I find really difficult is making career decisions.

Those who receive with most pains and difficulty, remember best; every new think they learn, being, as it were, burnt and branded in on their minds.

If only you can go through difficult times with inner grace, you will see that every situation we face is an opportunity to enhance our lives.

It’s a thing of no great difficulty to raise objections against another man’s oration, it is a very easy matter, but to produce a better in its place is a work extremely troublesome.
