it’s important to make sure that we’re talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds." - Barack Obama, 44th U.S. President

You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Keep exploring. Keep dreaming. Keep asking why. Don’t settle for what you already know. Never stop believing in the power of your ideas, your imagination, your hard work to change the world.

Just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail.

Don’t ever let anybody tell you that your efforts don’t matter or that your voice doesn’t count. Don’t ever believe that you can’t make a difference. You have.

Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.

There is more to life than just existing and having a pleasant time.

If you first fortify yourself with the true knowledge of the Universal Self, and then live in the midst of wealth and worldliness, surely they will in no way affect you.

I found my love when I was 17-years-old and my love is one hundred percent honest. We've never had any ugly, rocky things to overcome.

I'm a very straight-laced, conservative news kind of guy.

Who cares if you're enlightened forever? Can you just get it in this moment, now?

I sacrifice to no god save myself - And to my belly, greatest of deities.

I don't make things with my hands, although I studied woodworking and made furniture.

The finished product is not finished when the actor is. The work is completed by a pair of shears.

Dead? No excuse for laying off work.

People can stand around and share movement with each other, whether it's professional or not. That's how it grows. That's what dance does. It's its own language.
