I see the goodness and beauty in everyone, and everything is a gift given for me and for all of us. If you don't love it, question your mind until you do.

Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do.

Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation-from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.

Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you're attached to something not true for you.

Peace doesn't require two people; it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.

Fear has only two causes: the thought of losing what you have or the thought of not getting what you want.

Pay close attention to the particular thoughts you use to deprive yourself of happiness.

If you want real control, drop the illusion of control; let life have you. It does anyway. You’re just telling yourself the story of how it doesn’t.

People who refuse to rest honorably on their laurels when they reach retirement age seem very admirable to me.

No, we did not do this, and we are not with you.

I'm terrified of walking into a room full of people. Sitting down at a dinner table with 15 strangers brings me out in a sweat.

If there are bleachers in heaven and a warm sun, that's where you'll find Bill Veeck.

The way people move is their autobiography in motion.

We are each of us like our little blue planet, hung in black space, upheld by nothing but our mutual reassurances, our loving lies.

A lot of the women I know, that's what they're complaining about either the man in their life or the lack of a man in their life.

Adults should not weep, I knew. They did not have mothers who would comfort them.

Next time you're about to call your daughter bossy, take a deep breath and say, 'My daughter has executive leadership skills.'
