“Forgiveness is the key to inner peace because it is the mental technique by which our thoughts are transformed from fear to love.”

A relationship is more of an assignment than a choice. We can walk away from the assignment, but we cannot walk away from the lessons it presents. We stay with a relationship until a lesson is learned, or we simply learn it another way.

No matter what the problem, a miracle can solve it. Remember to ask for one.

May we not succumb to thoughts of violence and revenge today, but rather to thoughts of mercy and compassion. We are to love our enemies that they might be returned to their right minds.

Let’s forgive the past and who we were then. Let’s embrace the present and who we’re capable of becoming. Let’s surrender the future and watch miracles unfold.

Darkness is merely the absence of light, and fear is merely the absence of love. If we want to be rid of fear, we cannot fight it but must replace it with love.

The one good thing about failure is that it makes you consider doing things a different way.

In every heart there is an inner room, where we can hold our greatest treasures and our deepest pain.

To the ego mind, surrender means giving up. To the spiritual mind, surrender means giving in and receiving.

If our emotional stability is based on what other people do or do not do, then we have no stability. If our emotional stability is based on love that is changeless and unalterable, then we attain the stability of God.

It takes courage…to endure the sharp pains of self discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives.

The meaningful question is never what we did yesterday, but what we have learned from it and are doing today.

Don’t be concerned that things appear to be falling apart: this has to happen in order for something new and wonderful to emerge.

Success means we go to sleep at night knowing that our talents and ablities were used in a way that served others.

Sometimes when we don’t know the answer, it’s time to simply be with the question.

Think of everything you’ve ever experienced that was painful; that’s the meaning of Good Friday. Think of all the ways that love ultimately healed your heart; that’s the meaning of Easter.

With every thought we think, we either summon or block a miracle. It is not our circumstances, then, but rather our thoughts about our circumstances, that determine our power to transform them.

Better beans and bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear.

We can’t be brave without fear.

Fear is going to be a player in your life, but you get to decide how much.

Do not be afraid, do not yield to fear.

I now dont fear death because i am forgiven.

We confide in our strength, without boasting of it, we respect that of others, without fearing it.

We did not come to fear the future. We came here to shape it.

The worst of all fears is the fear of living.
