“A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses.”

The circumstances which a man encounters with suffering are the result of his own mental inharmony.

Man is buffeted by circumstances so long as he believes himself to be the creature of outside conditions.

Your circumstances may be uncongenial, but they shall not long remain so if you but perceive an Ideal and strive to reach it.

The calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in self-control.

Every act of a man springs from the hidden seeds of thought.

For weakness cannot persist in a power-evolving universe.

A man can only rise, conquer, and achieve by lifting up his thoughts.

An alcoholic father, poverty, my own juvenile diabetes, the limited English my parents spoke – although my mother has become completely bilingual since. All these things intrude on what most people think of as happiness.

Once you become fearless, life becomes limitless.

There are uses to adversity, and they don’t reveal themselves until tested. Whether it’s serious illness, financial hardship, or the simple constraint of parents who speak limited English, difficulty can tap unexpected strengths.

I’m not a box kind of gal, so stop trying to make me fit in one.

Meditation is the journey from sound to silence, from movement to stillness, from a limited identity to unlimited space.

Don’t limit yourself.

The enemy of art is the absence of limitations.
