You are the Master, the mind is your servant. That is the correct relationship.

Don't remind the world that it is sick and troubled. Remind it that it is beautiful and free.

No thought has any power. You have power. And when you identify and believe in the thought you give power to the thought.

At the end of the day, you can have something in your head, something in your hand, or something in your heart. What are you choosing?

All the ups and downs are grace in different wrappings, sent to refine consciousness. Say thanks to them all.

Who reminds you to breathe and to beat your heart? Something is there, taking care.

The greatest healing would be to wake up from what we are not.

You need nothing to be happy - you need something to be sad.

If you seek approval from others in this world, you will not know happiness.

If you do not trust life to unfold, the mind takes over and it becomes a game of strategy, motivated by anxiety. This mistrust is unfair. Life has given us so much, and yet we do not trust it.

If I could give you only one advice, I would say: Don't identify with anything. Be completely empty - no one. Be no-body and see if you lose anything but delusion.

We are but a speck in the Universe Oh, but what a lucky speck to be...

I shall never be very merry or very sad, for I am more prone to analyse than to feel.

When you are entrusted with a secret, you become irrevocably accountable for what you do or don't do after your mind is colored by the knowledge of it.

It is a damn poor mind indeed which can't think of at least two ways to spell any word.

The good things of life are not to be had singly, but come to us with a mixture; like a school-boy's holiday, with a task affixed to the tail of it.

My people were divided about surrendering.

For me the definition of a patriot is someone who is willing to constantly question the government; that’s what separates us from other countries.

No government or social system is so evil that its people must be considered as lacking in virtue.

To me one of the most important things is launching a children's book division.

Sometimes the things that come out of my mouth are mortifying.
