“While you’ll feel compelled to charge forward it’s often a gentle step back that will reveal to you where you and what you truly seek.”

The reason that so many fail to find happiness is that they fail to find gratitude.

I’ve no interest in being thought provoking. Who needs more thoughts. I’d rather go down as one who is thought disposing.

The world is already yours – why try to conquer it?

It’s not the depth of your intellect that will comfort you or transform your world. Only the richness of your heart and your generosity of spirit can do that

Odd how we focus on studying wars at at school to form our ‘education’. No wonder we know so little about making and forging peace as adults.

The moment that you give gratitude is the moment that you find happiness. The moment that you lose gratitude your happiness will vanish and slip through your fingers

Live your life, sing your song. Not full of expectations. Not for the ovations. But for the joy of it.

First one must understand conditioning – only then can we speak of choice

The land of possibility is a better place to make your home than the realm of expectation will ever be.

Goals are only ever a guide; a winding, changing path. It’s your heart that will really keep you on tack… and nourished along the way.

The mind will enchain yourself, others or both. Your heart will set you / them free.

You will rarely make wise decisions if you surround yourself with fools

My advice for life: dance and sing your song while the party is still on.

The moment that you accept life and your life as it is, is the moment that you will start to change your life and this magical life itself.

Compassion is even more powerful than courage. Sure, with courage you can conquer a world – but only with compassion can you heal and build it.

The greatest gift you can give (yourself or anyone else) is just being present.

I have made up my mind that I must have money, Pa. I feel that I can’t beg it, borrow it, or steal it; and so I have resolved that I must marry it.

To know that there’s a good chance that this is something that could potentially be around well after I leave this planet, it’s a good feeling.

We ought indeed to shrink from and feel shame at what is base, but nature which is over-cautious to avoid blame may be gentle and kindly, but cannot be great.

Every individual concerned to justify his existence feels that his existence involves an undefined need to transcend himself, to engage in freely chosen projects.

I am going to continue to work hard, but I do not take it too seriously, I just do what feels right and I really want to have a good time.

Don’t develop feelings and emotions of extreme sadness in which you become an unconscious responder to a situation that upsets your mindset and disables your emotional well-being.

I am what you designed me to be. I am your blade. You cannot now complain if you also feel the hurt.

Why is it that when the story ends we begin to feel all of it?
