All conflict we experience in the world, is a conflict within our own selves.

Fear of the future and longing for the past are major factors which impede appropriate action.

Unless we base our sense of identity upon the truth of who we are, it is impossible to attain true happiness.

Whatever we can't love or accept in another, is a mirror of something we can't love or accept in ourselves.

Relying on another is an expression of attachment, not love, a manifestation of insecurity and suffering, not understanding the true nature of our lives.

When we are willing to accept our experience, just as it is, a strange thing happens: it changes into something else. When we avoid pain, struggle not to feel it, pain turns into suffering.

The best defense against being hurt is to feel good about yourself and the way a person responds to you says more about them, than about you.

What seems good turns bad, what seems bad turns good. It is an endless cycle.

Change is the very basis of our life, not to be fought, to be welcomed and tasted, to be seen for the gift it truly is.

All the insight we will ever need to live well will come from fully being who and where we are.

In a relationship if you are giving and getting nothing back in return, stop giving so much, and spend time being. Give to yourself, be who you are.

I know what I have given you... I do not know what you have received.

Politics is almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.

We've got to figure out a way that we give a private sphere for our public leaders. We're not gonna get the best people in public life if we don't do that.

You cannot give your full attention to something, and at the same time resist it.

Never be satisfied with less than your very best effort. If you strive for the top and miss, you'll still 'beat the pack.'

There is a time to let things happen and a time to make things happen.

...rapid motion through space elates one.

I personally adore origin stories - they're so intriguing, learning what shaped and formed a character.

Journalism at its best and most effective is education. Apparently people would not learn for themselves, nor from others.

My whole life has been merely a succession of miserable and unsuccessful denials of feelings or reason.
