We as human beings have the amazing capacity to be reborn at breakfast everyday and say, “This is a new day.”

The heart is like a garden. It can grow compassion or fear, resentment or love. What seeds will you plant there?

If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.

The things that matter most in our lives are not fantastic or grand. They are the moments when we touch one another.

Most of us have spent our lives caught up in plans, expectations, ambitions for the future; in regrets, guilt or shame about the past. To come into the present is to stop the war.

We do not have to improve ourselves; we just have to let go of what blocks our heart.

Do not doubt your own basic goodness. In spite of all confusion and fear, you are born with a heart that knows what is just, loving, and beautiful.

In the end, just three things matter: How well we have lived How well we have loved How well we have learned to let go

Have respect for yourself, and patience and compassion. With these, you can handle anything.

Loving another person is a wonderful thing, and if that love is sincere, no one ends up tossed into a labyrinth. You have to have more faith in yourself.

Once you master how your own consciousness operates, anything can be desired and achieved.

If you choose to turn your back, you don't really have a say in what goes on behind it.

I was so devastated by my second divorce that I had a nervous breakdown.

I've always loved animation and animated films.

Philosophy is properly home-sickness; the wish to be everywhere at home.

We tell anybody who asks that we think Apple is making a big mistake by not being compatible.
