“Take my hand. We will walk. We will only walk. We will enjoy our walk without thinking of arriving anywhere.”

Life is a miracle, and being aware of simply this can already make us very happy.

The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.

In true dialogue, both sides are willing to change.

If you love someone but rarely make yourself available to him or her, that is not true love.

The desire to be a free person is very worthwhile. To be free means you are no longer the victim of fear, anger, craving, or suspicion.

At any moment, you have a choice, that either leads you closer to your spirit or further away from it.

Nonviolent action, born of the awareness of suffering and nurtured by love, is the most effective way to confront adversity.

If you think that peace and happiness are somewhere else and you run after them, you will never arrive.

A true partner or friend is one who encourages you to look deep inside yourself for the beauty and love you’ve been seeking.

We have more possibilities available in each moment than we realize.

Enlightenment is always there. Small enlightenment will bring great enlightenment. If you breathe in and are aware that you are alive – that you can touch the miracle of being alive – then that is a kind of enlightenment.

We are here to awaken from our illusion of separateness.

As long as you find something beautiful, good, and true to believe in and abide by, you have the equivalent of God in your life.

You cannot transmit wisdom and insight to another person. The seed is already there. A good teacher touches the seed, allowing it to wake up, to sprout, and to grow.

Every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do, it bears your signature.

Real love means loving kindness and compassion, the kind of love that does not have any conditions.

Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.

All you have to do is to pay attention; lessons always arrive when you are ready, and if you can read the signs, you will learn everything you need to know in order to take the next step.

Events do not just happen, but arrive by appointment.

There are people in the world for whom “coming along” is a perpetual process, people who are destined never to arrive.

The problem with waiting until tomorrow is that when it finally arrives, it is called today.

A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.

Almost all enduring success comes to people after they are forty. For seldom does mature judgment arrive before then.

Stop leaving and you will arrive. Stop searching and you will see. Stop running away and you will be found.
