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.

The innocent are guilty, the guilty are beyond hope, everything’s on its head, it’s a Twelfth Night of late-capitalist contradiction…

The bottom line is we must get off our duff and make an effort to succeed. Trust me on this, when you see someone successful in any of the arts they have been willing to make an extra effort.

The greatest miracle of all, the human being.

The typical modern has the look of the hunted.

I just feel that getting out there physically and protecting New York, putting my arms around everyone and protecting them... to see this happen to our city and our community.
