The most visible joy can only reveal itself to us when we've transformed it, within.

The highest form of love is to be the protector of another person’s solitude.

Go into yourself and see how deep the place is from which your life flows.

Let everything happen to you Beauty and terror Just keep going No feeling is final

Perhaps somewhere, someplace deep inside your being, you have undergone important changes while you were sad.

Make your ego porous. Will is of little importance, complaining is nothing, fame is nothing. Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything.

Where something becomes extremely difficult and unbearable, there we also stand always already quite near its transformation.

This is what the things can teach us: to fall, patiently to trust our heaviness. Even a bird has to do that before he can fly.

And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been

But your solitude will be a support and a home for you, even in the midst of very unfamiliar circumstances, and from it you will find all your paths.

If we surrendered to earth's intelligence we could rise up rooted, like trees.

Great thoughts, great soul.

No ambition which feeds on blood can be a worthy one

It doesn't matter who likes you or doesn't like you, all that matters is that God likes you. He accepts you, he approves of you.

Everything has been something before.

Stop wishing & start doing! Your lack of effort won't affect a true hustlers ambition. Perseverance through adversity is key.

Being beautiful is all in the attitude, it's about confidence.

The trouble with happiness is that it never notices itself.

I hate money. It is boring and it is arithmetic. The two things I hate the most.

I can't tell you any more than any other writer can tell you why they write, and I don't know what my influences are.

I think the way we show love for God is by loving each other, by extending the love that we are.
