When you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life.

When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation or accept it, all else is madness.

Stop looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment, for validation, security, or love - you have a treasure within that is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer.

When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life.

In today's rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of just Being.

Observe your thoughts, don't believe them.

The lily and the rose in her fair face striving for precedence.

We want but two or three friends, but these we cannot do without, and they serve us in every thought we think.

God has promised forgiveness to your repentance, but He has not promised tomorrow to your procrastination.

The time has come for a public-private community partnership to fix this country and put it back to work.

I tend to be a kind of left federalist. There's a value to more power of certain kinds being positioned at a more local level.
