Live in joy, luminosity, and peace even among the troubles of the world. Remember who you are.

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.

God believes in the reality of your dreams, and so do I. But the question is, do you strongly believe in your abilities?

There is no method but to be very intelligent.

We should all live as if we were never going to die, for it is the deaths of our friends that hurt us, not our own.

Treating success as an option is one of the major reasons why more people don't create it for themselves-and why most people don't even get close to living up to their full potential.

All must admit that the reception of the teachings of Christ results in the purest patriotism, in the most scrupulous fidelity to public trust, and in the best type of citizenship.

Let the character as it began be preserved to the last; and let it be consistent with itself.

What is a champion but a guy that didn't quit?

Complaining advertizes your fears.

I was bred as an outcast, part Negro and part Seminole, in my early years raised as an Indian.
