Everything is as it is at any moment. There's no way of arguing, because you are arguing with reality - the isness of this moment. You can argue with it, but that's suffering.

The past has no power over the present moment.

The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.

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.

Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.

You are not separate from the whole. You are one with the sun, the earth, the air. You don’t have a life. You are life.

Any man who neglects his conscience is a dangerous animal.

I don't think there are any true heroes. Just people who ignore their survival instincts long enough to do something incredibly foolhardy.

Our shortcomings drive us, motivate us – to work harder or realize another purpose/talent.

In our dreams we can have our eggs cooked exactly how we want them, but we can't eat them.

New white people, you can't scare these white people, I tried.

There are no manifestos like cannon and musketry.

Time is a blooming field: nature is ever teeming with life: and all is seed, and all is fruit.

I would never call a neighbor an enemy. But I would request the neighbor to be a good neighbor, to see that the neighbor's interest is a stable prosperous neighbor, a neighbor that is doing well.

I won't patronize you by saying I know how you feel-every tragedy is different, and personal.

You should only be doing the thing that makes you happy. Not just surface happy.
