“I would never have had if I’d been fool enough to make them do what I thought they should do.”

Often people become an addict and self destructive. Now the opposite of love is indifference and even worse is rejection and abuse, and I meet those people.

If God came in and said, I want you to be happy for the rest of your life, what would you do?

I wish medical schools helped us to analyze our healthy and unhealthy reasons for becoming doctors.

I cannot guarantee that the orders you place with God will always be filled. Prayer is not a test of God, but a call for help to find your inner strength and talent.

Anything that offers hope has the potential to heal.

Consciousness is non-local and does not depend on words to communicate.

Every time I jog through the world, I am awed by what I find. On a winter morning, when it seems too cold and slippery for safe jogging or bicycling, I can still go out and experience the glory of sunlight turning icy branches into strings of sparkling diamonds.

We are here to feel, wonder and gaze in awe at the world. Instead of just teaching our children how to use things and do things, I suggest we nourish their sense of wonder.

I heard that when I had grown up and had no idea of the whole story because the family album had pictures of a covered carriage and my mother smiling so I assumed I was asleep.

Feel your feelings. What you bring forth will save you.

Remember this: Now is the only time you have. When God created the universe, it was now. You can’t say to creation and energy, “I’ll do it later, not now.” Later doesn’t exist. Creation doesn’t know anything but now.

Having pets in the house helps everyone have a reverence for life.

The other great tonic for the immune system is love—loving ourselves as well as others.

Whenever you get around to doing what you want to do, it will be now. The things you need to do to live a happier, more fulfilling life-the only time you can possible start doing them is now.

Most of us never stop to consider our blessings; rather, we spend the day only thinking about our problems. But since you have to be alive to have problems, be grateful for the opportunity to have them.

I am not talking about selfishness or self-interest. When I ask, What will make you happy?, I mean, What way of loving others feels right for you? Choose a way of loving that makes you happy, and your efforts will be play rather than work.

We use words as tools. We forget that words are a repository of the spirit. The tragedy of our times is that the vessels of the spirit are broken.

The fool who repeats again and again: “I am bound, I am bound,” remains in bondage. He who repeats day and night: “I am a sinner, I am a sinner,” becomes a sinner indeed.

A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool.

What is wealth? A dream of fools.

You are a fool in four letters, my son.

Do not be fooled by your youthful appearance for very soon it would be taken away from you.

Never argue with a drunk or a fool.

Reckless adventure is the fool’s hazard.
