Life without forgiveness is unbearable.

The heart is like a garden. It can grow compassion or fear, resentment or love. What seeds will you plant there?

If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.

The things that matter most in our lives are not fantastic or grand. They are the moments when we touch one another.

Most of us have spent our lives caught up in plans, expectations, ambitions for the future; in regrets, guilt or shame about the past. To come into the present is to stop the war.

We do not have to improve ourselves; we just have to let go of what blocks our heart.

Do not doubt your own basic goodness. In spite of all confusion and fear, you are born with a heart that knows what is just, loving, and beautiful.

In the end, just three things matter: How well we have lived How well we have loved How well we have learned to let go

Have respect for yourself, and patience and compassion. With these, you can handle anything.

Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be. Let your body relax and your heart soften. Open to whatever you experience without fighting.

The basic principle of spiritual life is that our problems become the very place to discover wisdom and love.

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it, we go nowhere - Carl Sagan

We went to church every Sunday. When I was a kid, the only time I sang was around my family.

Whoever neglects old friends for the sake of new deserves what e gets if he loses both

When the truth get's buried deep beneath a thousand years of sleep, time demands a turnaround.. And once again the truth is found.

I'd been willing to kill for the people I loved for a very long time; now I had to start living for them.

God has a plan for you today: one designed to help get you to Heaven.

This is not yet a scientific age.

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.

There is no distress so complete but that even in the most critical moments the inexplicable sunrise of hope is seen in its depths.
