Around us, life bursts with miracles, a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops.

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.

It is not impermanence that makes us suffer. What makes us suffer is wanting things to be permanent when they are not.

The public needs the equivalent of Chevrolets as well as Cadillacs.

The church has paid a terrible price for statistics!

Slight was the thing I bought, small was the debt I thought, Poor was the loan at best - God! but the interest!

I wouldn't mind people saying, "You can't do this because this isn't enough."

There is nothing- No life, No joy, No pain- There is nothing save opinion, And opinion be damned.
