Human reasoning can never answer the mysteries of our lives.

The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind

Just let go. Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work its way into your consciousness.

When you do not seek or need approval, you are at your most powerful.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.

By far the strongest poison to the human spirit is the inability to forgive oneself or another person. Forgiveness is no longer an option but a necessity for healing.

Grant me the grace to dissolve my negative thoughts about myself today. I breathe the grace of kindness into my heart. And may the grace of healing flow abundantly to every one in need of help.

Never blame another person for your personal choices - you are still the one who must live out the consequences of your choices.

You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional hope that you'll get to tomorrow. Intention without action is useless.

There is no such thing as a simple act of compassion or an inconsequential act of service. Everything we do for another person has infinite consequences.

If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves.

When you are desperate to get someone who isn't all that interested in you, you lay siege as hard as you can.

We are not born, we do not live for ourselves alone; our country, our friends, have a share in us.

The world is not a problem; the problem is your unawareness.

And it never, ever was interpreted that the Second Amendment meant individual's right to bear arms
