You don't need a wishbone, you need a backbone.

The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind

Just let go. Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work its way into your consciousness.

Never blame another person for your personal choices - you are still the one who must live out the consequences of your choices.

You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional hope that you'll get to tomorrow. Intention without action is useless.

There is no such thing as a simple act of compassion or an inconsequential act of service. Everything we do for another person has infinite consequences.

What we want is not power, but simply combination in order to elicit the largest possible giving.

I see a huge paradox in me - the intense need to be loved and the search for approval juxtaposed with the need to nurture other people, to be the mother I never had.

The person who has inspired me my whole life is my Mom, because she taught me commitment. She sacrificed.

Mysticism is not this or that particular cup on the table; it is the water poured into all of them.
