“Having a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing seems to me to be one of the most basic principles that you can adopt to contribute to individual and world peace.”

Heaven is a state of mind, not a location.

With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.

All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, it will not change you.

Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.

I am realistic – I expect miracles.

When your higher self is present, it always promotes peace.

There’s no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love. There is only a scarcity of resolve to make it happen.

How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.

When you abandon making choices, you enter the vast world of excuses.

When the choice is to be right or to be kind, always make the choice that brings peace.

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.

Our intention creates our reality.

The more you extend kindness to yourself, the more it will become your automatic response to others.

In any relationship in which two people become one, the end result is two half people.

I think and that is all that I am.

Your reputation is in the hands of others. That’s what the reputation is. You can’t control that. The only thing you can control is your character.

Attachment to views is the greatest impediment to the spiritual path.

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.

Interwoven as is the love of liberty with every ligament of your hearts, no recommendation of mine is necessary to fortify or confirm the attachment.

Perhaps home is not a place but simply an irrevocable condition.

Attachment leads to suffering.

A genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day-to-day lives.

A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man that actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends.

First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity.
