“Bad things are not the worst things that can happen to us. Nothing is the worst thing that can happen to us!”

I am subject to that principle, in spirit and in belief of body.

Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.

Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness. Listen to it carefully.

To fly as fast as thought, you must begin by knowing that you have already arrived.

Whatever steps we take, they’re necessary to reach the places we’ve chosen to go.

Study a lifetime and you see different colors from the same jewel.

Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.

The simplest questions are the most profound.

Some choices we live not only once but a thousand times over, remembering them for the rest of our lives.

The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy.

The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.

Civilization… wrecks the planet from seafloor to stratosphere.

Can miles truly separate you from friends… If you want to be with someone you love, aren’t you already there?

Don’t be dismayed by good-byes.

If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem.

Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation.

When you sit, let it be. What you walk, let it be. Grasp at nothing. Resist nothing.

Instead, understand that this world is just the play of the senses. It’s the five khandhas doing their thing; it has nothing to do with you.

The forms of the world have their place, but in another way, there is nothing there. To be free, we need to respect both of these truths.

Just do nothing and love this moment. Its very beautiful and very deep.

People’s feelings are easily swayed. The things reflected in people’s eyes are full of deception. Nothing is as it appears.

A Dorito asks nothing of you, which is its great gift. It only asks that you are not there.

Hey, Nana… people’s feelings change easily… what you see is a house of cards… nothing’s sure, and nothing lasts forever.

There is no security in freedom, at least not in the sense that we normally think of security. This is, of course, why it is so free: there’s nothing there to grab hold of.
