“Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it!”

The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers & cities; but to know someone who thinks & feels with us, & who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

Everybody wants to be somebody, but nobody wants to grow.

For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him, he must regard himself as greater than he is.

He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.

To be loved for what one is, that is the greatest exception. The great majority love in others only what they lend him; their own selves, their version of him.

Night is the other half of life, and the better half.

Behaviour is a mirror in which every one displays his own image.

Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.

What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.

Misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than malice and wickedness.

To be pleased with one’s limits is a wretched state.

The highest goal that man can achieve is amazement.

I have possessed that heart, that noble soul, in whose presence I seemed to be more than I really was, because I was all that I could be.

Too many parents make life hard for their children by trying, too zealously, to make it easy for them.

As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.

Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.

Either we are adrift in chaos or we are individuals, created, loved, upheld and placed purposefully, exactly where we are. Can you believe that? Can you trust God for that?

My one purpose in life is to help people find a personal relationship with God, which, I believe, comes through knowing Christ.

The secret of passion is purpose.

Successfully completing a lesser purpose doesn’t feel good very good for very long, because it is simply preparation for advancing toward a greater embodiment of your deeper purpose.

Heartbreak does not have to be a meaningless experience. For many, it is a spiritual catalyst – a pathway to awakening to ones deepest desires for love, purpose and connection.

Trouble is here. It is for a purpose. Use it for the purpose for which it was intended – to help you grow. Thank God for your troubles.

When you’re surrounded by people who share a passionate commitment around a common purpose, anything is possible.
