Peace is not weak. Standing up to a tank is harder than dropping a suicide bomb

Worries are pointless. If there's a solution, there's no need to worry. If no solution exists, there's no point to worry.

Nothing goes right on the outside when nothing is going right on the inside.

To love oneself is to love life. It is essential to understand that we make ourselves happy in making others happy.

Happiness is a skill, emotional balance is a skill, compassion and altruism are skills, and like any skill they need to be developed. That's what education is about.

The basic root of happiness lies in our minds; outer circumstances are nothing more than adverse or favourable.

Let us live simply in the freshness of the present moment, in the clarity of pure awakened mind.

We deal with our mind from morning till evening, and it can be our best friend or our worst enemy.

We all have the ability to study the causes of suffering and gradually to free ourselves from them....it is not the magnitude of the task that matters, it's the magnitude of our courage.

Authentic happiness is not linked to an activity, it is a state of being.

Happiness is a state of inner fulfillment, not the gratification of inexhaustible desires for outward things.

The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes but in liking what one has to do.

Man as an individual is a genius. But men in the mass form the headless monster, a great, brutish idiot that goes where prodded.

Talking is always a good idea. There's no harm in keeping lines of communication open.

I learn every day what it means to love myself, and I'm constantly figuring out what makes me feel empowered.

Politicians get their power too late, and I think that he has inherited an impossible situation in which he is ill-equipped to deal.

This I ask, is it not madness to kill thyself in order to escape death? [Lat., Hic rogo non furor est ne moriare mori?]

Life is a gift, and i try to respond with grace and courtesy.

I'm no prophet. My job is making windows where there were once walls.

You poor, deluded woman...do you believe there is any such thing as love?...You're living an illusion. Do you believe the words of love they whisper in the ears of penniless women like us?

Chicken Little change my life when I was younger. I had no idea chickens could talk *laughs*.
