“At the end of the day, she noticed that everybody around her was happy, too- so she didn’t quit after all. She decided to come to work happy instead. Two years later, she’s still on the job, radiating happiness and love.”

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.

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

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.

A surgeon is surrounded by people who are sick, discouraged, afraid, embittered, dying – but also courageous, loving, wise, compassionate and alive.

It’s not about curing the disease, but healing the life; then the physical benefits come.

What I try to get physically healthy people to understand is that they’re going to die someday. There is no way out. And dying isn’t failure, but not living is, so make use of your time. Don’t keeping waiting.

There aren’t that many superstars around anymore.

Some songs are too repetitive for me to be able to fashion a humorous set of lyrics around. Some songs flat-out just don’t work creatively for me.

In a genre where most of the artists are one-hit wonders, I’ve been able to hang around longer than most “serious” acts. I pride myself in being a very talented leech.

That’s the way to live – around people who care. It may be a tough ride, but something is going to come out of it.

National Action Network, the group I founded, has affiliates or chapters in over 40 cities around the country.

It’s never really that much fun for me to do movies anyway, because you – you know, you have to get up very early in the morning and you have to go in and you spend a lot of time waiting around.

It’s so funny when people who are not used to making movies get into it. You just can’t believe how insufferably boring it is.

Waiting around and doing these lines over and over and finally having to go in and loop the lines and dub them.
