I stopped waiting for the world to give me what I wanted; I started giving it to myself.

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.

Our job is unconditional love. The job of everyone else in our life is to push our buttons.

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.

It's not your job to like me - it's mine

It's not the problem that causes our suffering; it's our thinking about the problem.

I am going to go into this world, and I don't care if you and your narrow mind cannot be a part of it.

I married the first man I ever kissed. When I tell this to my children they just about throw up.

The person interested in success has to learn to view failure as a healthy, inevitable part of the process of getting to the top.

It's probably similar to being in New York City and having a cab driver behind you and you're driving too slow. It's not the most pleasant thing.

I'm always jotting things down on pieces of paper. I've got pieces of paper all over my house.

There is no reason why, with the huge potential for market out there in the world for fuel-efficient vehicles, we can't be the cutting edge for change.

But the dream is never forgotten, only put aside and never out of reach: Where once the dream connected boys with the world of men, now it reconnects men with the spirit of boys.

Books on horse racing subjects have never done well, and I am told that publishers had come to think of them as the literary version of box office poison

Choosing what we think rather than reaction to our emotions.

Most art is just surface noise.
