“Everything that is happening at this moment is a result of the choices you’ve made in the past.”

The past is gone, the future is not here, now I am free of both. Right now, I choose joy.

The quality of one’s life depends on the quality of attention. Whatever you pay attention to will grow more important in your life. There is no limit to the kinds of changes that awareness can produce.

Language creates reality. Words have power. Speak always to create joy.

Give up being right. Instead radiate peace, harmony, love, and laughter from your heart.

The most creative act you will ever undertake is the act of creating yourself.

The mind and the body are like parallel universes. Anything that happens in the mental universe must leave tracks in the physical one

The love you feel in life is a reflection of the love you feel in yourself.

Base your happiness on being real, not on illusions and expectations.

Life is the coexistence of all opposite values. Joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, up and down, hot and cold, here and there, light and darkness, birth and death. All experience is by contrast, and one would be meaningless without the other.

If you have your full attention in the moment, you will see only love.

No matter what the situation, remind yourself “I have a choice.”

Now is the moment that never ends.

Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It is a way of entering into the quiet that is already there – buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day.

There is a light within each of us that can never be diminished or extinguished. It can only be obscured by forgetting who we are

The Universe contains three things that cannot be destroyed; Being, Awareness and LOVE.

What you pay attention to grows. If your attention is attracted to negative situations and emotions, then they will grow in your awareness.

Ninety-nine percent of the world’s lovers are not with their first choice. That’s what makes the jukebox play.

Life is so short. I would rather sing one song than interpret the thousand.

It may be normal, darling; but I’d rather be natural.

Let me be unambiguous. I prefer not to be photographed.

I realized either I was crazy or the world was crazy; and I picked on the world. And of course I was right.

It’s better to stand by someone’s side than by yourself

I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.

I’ll walk where my own nature would be leading: It vexes me to choose another guide: Where the grey flocks in ferny glens are feeding; Where the wild wind blows on the mountain-side.
