The knowledge of the past stays with us. To let go is simply to release any images and emotions.

The heart is like a garden. It can grow compassion or fear, resentment or love. What seeds will you plant there?

If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.

The things that matter most in our lives are not fantastic or grand. They are the moments when we touch one another.

Most of us have spent our lives caught up in plans, expectations, ambitions for the future; in regrets, guilt or shame about the past. To come into the present is to stop the war.

We do not have to improve ourselves; we just have to let go of what blocks our heart.

Do not doubt your own basic goodness. In spite of all confusion and fear, you are born with a heart that knows what is just, loving, and beautiful.

In the end, just three things matter: How well we have lived How well we have loved How well we have learned to let go

Have respect for yourself, and patience and compassion. With these, you can handle anything.

Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be. Let your body relax and your heart soften. Open to whatever you experience without fighting.

The basic principle of spiritual life is that our problems become the very place to discover wisdom and love.

The mind never has anything new to say-all it knows is of the past.

There is no such thing as fun for the whole family.

Some thoughts are too angry to sleep. They lie awake all night and become obsessions.

It was Sunday morning, and old people passed me like sad grey waves on their way to church.

It was one of those perfect fall days when the air is cool enough to wake you up but the sun is also kissing your face.

All Birds find shelter during a rain. But Eagle avoids rain by flying above the Clouds. Problems are common, but attitude makes the difference!!!

To understand the world one must not be worrying about one's self.

...the larger world lay not across oceans but within the human mind and heart.

The practical joke is the psychiatry of baseball.

I have so much respect for my opponents; many of them watched the races as little children and were supporting me!
