When we try to get ourselves out of the way, we can understand much better the needs of the people closest to us.

A mind that is fast is sick. A mind that is slow is sound. A mind that is still is divine.

A calm mind releases the most precious capacity a human being can have: the capacity to turn anger into compassion, fear into fearlessness, and hatred into love.

Meditation is warm-up exercise for the mind, so that you can jog through the rest of the day without getting agitated or spraining your patience.

When someone at peace and free from hurry enters a room, that person has a calming effect on everyone present.

Patience can't be acquired overnight. It is just like building up a muscle. Every day you need to work on it.

Nothing really worth having comes quickly and easily. If it did, I doubt that we would ever grow.

Through meditation and by giving full attention to one thing at a time, we can learn to direct attention where we choose.

When we go slower, we are more patient and when we are more patient we have a choice in how we respond.

The real essentials of life - compassion, kindness, good will, forgiveness - are what is fundamental to living as a true human being.

When the storm rips you to pieces, you have to decide how to put yourself back together again.

Forest of Arden was great for me. I couldn't finish outside the top five there no matter how hard I tried!

No gesture is too small when done with gratitude.

You are not mentally developed by what you read, but by what you think about what you read.

Art teaches us to see into things. Folk art and kitsch allow us to see outward from within things.

We all think we're different, but when it comes around, we end up needing the same things. Somebody to love us. Somebody to respect us.

Not in sorrow freely is never to open the bosom to the sweets of the sunshine.
