Wisdom says we are nothing. Love says we are everything. Between these two our life flows.

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.

Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be. Let your body relax and your heart soften. Open to whatever you experience without fighting.

The basic principle of spiritual life is that our problems become the very place to discover wisdom and love.

Leadership is not the loudest roar that creates change it is the consistent whisper that challenges your fears and inspires your magnificence

Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic...

My life felt so cluttered and obstructed that I could hardly breathe. I inhabited a closed, concentrated world, airless and without exits.

You can only chase a butterfly for so long.

If you like the book, you'll hate the movie.

I enjoy trying to figure out the best way to compliment the picture and not overpower it.

To listen to your own silence is the key to comedy.

I think part of a beauty routine is how you feel and checking in with your inner self, and so I made that commitment to myself to do that.

The most powerful narcotic in the world is the promise of belonging.

This is an interesting planet. It deserves all the attention you can give it.
