Sometimes our ability to accept what we can't change is tied to our willingness to change what we can.

Courage isn't the absence of fear, but a decision that what we want is more important than what we are afraid of.

Selfish is caring for ourselves at others' expense ... Self-care is taking care of ourselves so that we can be there for others.

The journey of life is both too short and too precious to be sidetracked by guilt trips.

Until we become clear about our own worth and value, we will forever be searching for it in the eyes of others.

The way to encourage people to be accountable is to engage the responsible, accountable, trustworthy part of their brain.

When we take care of ourselves like we would take care of someone we love, the quality of our living and our giving goes up.

Regardless of the problem, as long as our solution requires someone else to change, we will never know the power and promise of self-determination.

As long as we define stress as how some person or situation is making us feel, we will have to change the world around us to find peace of mind.

Stress is an indicator of our belief in the value and validity of our worries and fears.

Never define people or situations in terms of their effect on you, unless you want to give them the power to make you feel that way.

Let the past be the past as you make your way into the future.

Thinking of the future, establishing aims for oneself, having preferences—all this presupposes a belief in freedom, even if one occasionally ascertains that one doesn't feel it.

Into the darkness with the light of the moon beaming upon me. Bathing in the luminosity of it awakening the demon that is me!

A man who lies about beer makes enemies

In my afternoon walk I would fain forget all my morning occupations and my obligations to society.

All progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Singing is something I've always loved - I'm not sure what I would do without it!

When I look in the mirror, I see an ever-unfolding process.

It has seemed to me that most people are generally good, in every race and in every country where I have been.

If a warrior lacked wisdom, courage alone would not keep him alive for long.
