There is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind.

Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to others.

Peace comes from within.  Do not seek it without.

Better than a thousand hollow words is one word that brings peace.

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading

Tune as the sitthar, neither high nor low, and we will dance away the hearts of men.

Know well what leads you forward and what holds you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.

Your mind is a powerful thing. When you filter it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change.

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

The way to happiness is: keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, give much. Fill your life with love. Do as you would be done by.

Since everything is a reflection of our minds, everything can be changed by our minds.

I don't think that I would ever, while writing, think to myself, "I need a little more psychological realism."

I had to be happy with the process of writing.Each step you take is more rewarding than the one before.

We see but dimly through the mists and vapors; Amid these earthly damps What seem to us but sad, funereal tapers May be heaven's distant lamps.

Keep thinking, keep interested, keep praying, keep dreaming. Be mentally sensitive at all times so that the magic word that motivates you may one day speak to your deep inner self.

My life is about being a civil rights activist. That's my life. Whoever you are, everyone, we either have civil rights or we don't. It's for everyone.
