Allow regular time for silent reflection. Turn inward and digest what has happened. Let the senses rest and grow still.

Your behaviour influences others through a ripple effect. A ripple effect works because everyone influences everyone else. Powerful people are powerful influences.

Teach people to let go of their superficial mental chatter and obsessions. Teach people to pay attention to the whole body's reaction to a situation.

Fear never leaves you. It just adapts to you. And that’s the meaning of strengthening a warrior spirit from within, as you can’t fight all your battles with the same weapons.

A picture that is beautiful, or that comes off, or that works, looks as if it was all made at one stroke.

I think people who live in the worlds that movies are based on end up disliking them. Unless they're from a different time and era.

The artistic capability of reinforced concrete is so fantastic - that is the way to go.

God is not greater if you reverence Him, but you are greater if you serve Him.
