In the moment when we are able to smile, to look at ourselves with compassion, our world begins to change.

Because you are alive, everything is possible.

The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.

Silence is essential. We need silence just as much as we need air, just as much as plants need light. If our minds are crowded with words and thoughts, there is no space for us.

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.

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.

Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible.

The quality of our life depends on the quality of the seeds that lie deep in our consciousness.

Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment I know this is the only moment.

I confess I found it somewhat insipid when I last went....it was all so prosy - so bonnety - so whisty and teacuppy - you see, the adjectives for it do not even exist, and I must invent them.

Every ruler must remember three things. Firstly, that he rules man; secondly, that he rules according to law, and thirdly, that he does not rule for ever.

We usually meet all of our relatives only at funerals where somebody always observes: "Too bad we can't get together more often".

Most people spend their lives going to bed when they're not sleepy and getting up when they are!

We can never be born enough.

The whole world knows that I am a Madridista by heart; White until the death.

On the way to work, concentrate on the way - not the work.

My world view has always been that there's just an enormous amount of cultural and religious diversity out there, all of which is really worth taking in.

That which makes us DIFFERENT, will make a DIFFERENCE in the world some day. Be Yourself.
