THICH NHAT HANHBe part of the miraculous moment.
THICH NHAT HANHBreathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment I know this is the only moment.

THICH NHAT HANHWe have more possibilities available in each moment than we realize.
THICH NHAT HANHWhen we change our daily lives – the way we think, speak and act – we change the world.
THICH NHAT HANHWithout being peace, we cannot do anything for peace. If we cannot smile, we cannot help other people to smile. If we are not peaceful, then we cannot contribute to the peace movement.

THICH NHAT HANHUnderstanding means throwing away your knowledge.
THICH NHAT HANHIf love is in our hearts, every thought, word, and deed can bring about a miracle. Because understanding is the very foundation of love, words and actions that emerge from our love are always helpful.
THICH NHAT HANHThe moment you understand the importance of loving yourself, you will stop hurting others.

THICH NHAT HANHPeople have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.
THICH NHAT HANHBe angry, it’s okay. To be angry, that is very human. And to learn how to smile at your anger and make peace with your anger is very nice.
