We all thought of chicken as lean, protein-rich food that's good for weight watching, but the truth is chicken might actually be making us fatter!

Though I'm vegan and advocate that others eat a plant-based diet, I know that many people aren't quite ready to take that step in whole.

In the middle of it all, pause and look around you. Appreciate what’s beautiful. Take in the love. Nod to what’s good and true. And then move forward one step at a time.

I always hated when my scars started to fade, because as long as I could still see them, I knew why I was hurting.

Life will throw all kinds of obstacles our way. It's our job to scramble over them and hunt for the little miracles tucked away, then leave some reminders for the people that follow behind us.

Theology is never any help

Sometimes I almost feel just like a human being.

The sacredness, if there is any, is all in yourself and not in the place.

Fairyland is the loveliest word because it means everything the human heart desires.

Public notice does not necessarily accord with internal fulfilment.

Ones real deathless wealth is all the beautiful souls one has seen and spiritually touched.

I never go anywhere without my iPod.

Each man is led by his own liking.
