Sometimes the subconscious mind manifests a wisdom several steps or even years ahead of the conscious mind, and has its own way of leading us toward our destiny.

The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance.

Self-acceptance is my refusal to be in an adversarial relationship to myself.

One of the hardest expressions of self-assertiveness is challenging your limiting beliefs.

Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important than the judgment we pass on ourselves.

Mathematics may, like poetry or music, "promote and sustain a lofty habit of mind."

Why I came here, I know not; where I shall go it is useless to inquire - in the midst of myriads of the living and the dead worlds, stars, systems, infinity, why should I be anxious about an atom?

If we believe in magic, we'll live a magical life.
