“Sit and do nothing. Every once in a while a golden fish swims by and lays her golden eggs. You’ll know.”

It’s no use trying to be different than you are.

You can’t feel the earth if you can’t feel the space.

Sanity lies somewhere between the inhibitions of conventional morality and the looseness of extreme impulse, but the area in-between is very fuzzy.

Developing confidence is like watching the sun rise. First it seems very feeble and one wonders whether it will make it. Then it shines and shines.

There is more to fearlessness than merely having overcome fear… This state of being is not dependent on any external circumstances. It is individual dignity… that comes from being what we are, right now.

The discovery of magic can happen only when we transcend our embarrassment about being alive, when we have the bravery to proclaim the goodness and dignity of human life, without either hesitation or arrogance. Then magic can descend onto our existence.

Spirituality doesn’t exist on another level different from ordinary life.

Intelligence and courtesy not always are combined; Often in a wooden house a golden room we find.

I believe in the Golden Rule – The Man with the Gold… Rules.

It is a golden maxim to cultivate the garden for the nose, and the eyes will take care of themselves.

Here’s my Golden Rule for a tarnished age: Be fair with others, but keep after them until they’re fair with you.

We are all making a crown for Jesus out of these daily lives of ours, either a crown of golden, divine love, studded with gems of sacrifice and adoration, or a thorny crown, filled with the cruel briars of unbelief, or selfishness, and sin.

I haven’t come to you only to take , I haven’t come to you empty handed : I bring you poetry as great as yours but in anther tongue , I bring you black eyes and golden skin and curly hair.

By sowing frugality we reap liberty, a golden harvest.
