To know that every moment — regardless of how it comes wrapped — is a gift greater than you can give yourself, is to be well on your way to a life without fear.

You don't need strength to let go of something. What you really need is understanding.

Never speak out of anger, Never act out of fear, Never choose from impatience, But wait... and peace will appear.

Love is effortless attention.

The greatest power you possess in life is your understanding that life gives you a fresh start any moment you choose.

Life isn't a race to win, it's a school for our higher education.

Trying to “fix” the people in your life that cause you pain is like massaging your shoes because your feet ache.

The limit of your present understanding is not the limit of your possibilities.

We are not here on earth to change our destiny, but to fulfill it.

Weak thoughts and feelings often feel strong but remember, real strength is never anxious, cruel, or punishing.

Knowledge without Spirit is like finding yourself on a cold night with all the wood in the world and no flame to ignite it.

We are living out the drama of a pathetic story whose pages are smeared with our own handwriting.

Owning our past allows us to own our future.

An audience is perhaps unnecessary to the soul-searching mystic, but it is vital to the magician, the maker of prodigies.

I suppose if a man has something once, always something of it remains.

Man is a masterpiece of creation . . .

I think acting is a gift. I think certain people for some reason just have a gift that they were meant to perform.

Even the hard times are part of your life story. If you acknowledge them and move past them, they eventually add up to the experience that makes you wise.

Negative is always more newsworthy than positive.

Love is not a higher quality than truth.

Aiming for perfection causes frustration at best and paralysis at worst.
