The point is not what we expect from life, but rather what life expects from us.

When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.

When a person can’t find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.

Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.

The one thing you can't take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me.

Our greatest human freedom is that, despite whatever our physical situation is in life, WE ARE ALWAYS FREE TO CHOOSE OUR THOUGHTS!

We have to leave everything we have been, a perceiver, "I" as an individual. That is enlightenment.

The length of the journey has to be borne with, for every moment is necessary.

They say a good man is worth fighting for. But a man who's good for YOU shouldn't make you fight just for the right to be in his life.

Chefs become attracted to being able to get product and then clientele - those are the two things that attract you as a chef.

There's a wonderfully cooperative relationship between management and labor right now. Much like the historic partnership between oranges and a juicer.
