Perhaps the most "spiritual" thing any of us can do is simply to look through our own eyes, see with eyes of wholeness, and act with integrity and kindness.

Just watch this moment, without trying to change it at all. What is happening? What do you feel? What do you see? What do you hear?

See for yourself whether letting go when a part of you really wants to hold on doesn't bring a deeper satisfaction than clinging.

The best way to capture moments is to pay attention. This is how we cultivate mindfulness. Mindfulness means being awake. It means knowing what you are doing.

For men and women alike, this journey is a the trajectory between birth and death, a human life lived. No one escapes the adventure. We only work with it differently.

Non-doing simply means letting things be and allowing them to unfold in their own way.

This is it.

Through it all, we attempt to bring balance to the present moment, understanding that in patience lies wisdom, knowing that what will come next will be determined in large measure by how we are now.

After all, if you really aren't trying to get anywhere else in this moment, patience takes care of itself.

For an optimist, life is full of opportunity. For a pessimist, life is full of adversity. Life is what you think of it.

This life is a shadowy thing, lad. We live in a crowded space of lights and shadows, and when left to ourselves, we all too often fail to see the brightest light of all.

Thought precedes actions.

I don't enjoy watching people fail, but I don't feel sorry for them when they fail crossing my path, that I love.

Weapons of mass destruction are always in the wrong hands.

It was bitingly cold up here,and the wind pulled at his clothes like an insistent lover.

Most foreign policies that history has marked highly, in whatever country, have been originated by leaders who were opposed by experts.

God made the human body, and it is the most exquisite and wonderful organization which has come to us from the divine hand.

The realist lies for advantage. The fantasist lies to give his dreams a flavor of reality.

Listen. Make a way for yourself inside yourself. Stop looking in the other way of looking.
