“Be mindful, be compassionate and nurture the circumstances that find you in this good time so it will last longer.”

When life falls apart always remember that this too will pass. Life will have its unexpected turns.

When the weather is hot, keep a cool mind. When the weather is cold, keep a warm heart.

What are people searching for in life? God. In the christian scriptures, it says ‘Be still and know you are God.’ What is this? You are peace, compassion, truth, Love, freedom. Real love.

The selfless giving, the service, the kindness which you give out into this world that is the currency of (the) meaning (of life).

Fear is finding fault with the future.

How many times have you tried to solve “the problem”? you’ll be trying to solve it not just until you die but for many more lifetimes. .

Love is not liking somebody. Anyone can do that. Love is loving things that sometimes you don’t like.

When life is good do not take it for granted as it will pass.

Why seek revenge? Karma is going to get the bastards anyway

Everyone makes mistakes. The wise are not people who never make mistakes, but those who forgive themselves and learn from their mistakes.

One can say that the underlying creed of most Western democracies is to protect their people’s freedom to realise their desires, as far as this is possible.

Our modern Western culture only recognises the first of these, freedom of desires.

Life is what’s happening while you’re worrying.

Silence is so much more productive of wisdom and clarity in thinking.

Understand the place of love in a spiritual life. A powerful and blissful type of love has no conditions, no ownership and no people involved. Be free from fear. Be who you are. That is love.

Meditation is like a gym in which you develop the powerful mental muscles of calm and insight.

Acting is telling the truth under imaginary circumstances.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.

Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.

Fortune may crowd a man’s life with fortunate circumstances and happy opportunities, but they will, as we all know, avail him nothing unless he makes a wise and vigorous use of them.

I know I’m a good professional, I know that no one’s harder on me than myself and that’s never going to change, under any circumstances.

Circumstantial evidence is a very tricky thing. It may seem to point very straight to one thing, but if you shift your own point of view a little, you may find it pointing in an equally uncompromising manner to something entirely different.

I don’t know that love changes. People change. Circumstances change.

It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.
