The heart is the only book worth reading.

If you let go a little you will have a little happiness. If you let go a lot you will have a lot of happiness. If you let go completely you will be free.

Anything which is troubling you, anything which is irritating you, THAT is your teacher.

Happiness and suffering do not depend on being poor or rich, they depend on having the right or wrong understanding in our mind.

If you want a chicken to be a duck, and a duck to be a chicken, you will suffer.

All religions are like different cars all moving in the same direction. People who don't see it have no light in their hearts.

There are people who are born and die and never once are aware of their breath going in and out of their body. That's how far away they live from themselves

There are two kinds of suffering. There is the suffering you run away from, which follows you everywhere. And there is the suffering you face directly, and so become free.

Letting go a little brings a little peace. Letting go a lot brings a lot of peace. Letting go completely brings complete peace.

Looking for peace is like looking for a turtle with a mustache: You won't be able to find it. But when your heart is ready, peace will come looking for you.

We practice to learn how to let go, not how to increase our holding on to things. Enlightenment appears when you stop wanting anything.

The best way to worship God is to honor His people

Your potential has no boundaries

God hides treasure in dirt, so that only those humble enough to dig through it find it.

Look for the heart of a tradition in the actions of its humble servants and selfless teachers. Listen and let the teachings be borne out, or set aside, based on your experience.

Beware what you consume, lest you appetite grow by what it feeds on.

The wind doesn't bother me. I'm in the US Senate.

I only have one wrinkle and I'm sitting on it.

I've never watched reality shows, except for the Great British Bake Off, which is magnificent.

I have to say that I have been blessed with significant teachers at every stage of my life.
