What you are aware of you are in control of; what you are not aware of is in control of you.

You're so ashamed of your past; drop it! You're so proud of your past; drop it!

A lost coin is found by means of a candle; the deepest truth is found by means of a simple story.

Sinners often speak the truth. And saints have led people astray. Examine what is said, not the one who says it.

You don't have to add anything in order to be happy; you've got to drop something.

Religion is the finger pointing to God. People are too busy licking the finger to notice where it's pointing.

You know, all mystics - Catholic, Christian, non-Christian, no matter what their theology, no matter what their religion - are unanimous on one thing: that all is well, all is well. Though everything is a mess, all is well. Strange paradox, to be sure. But, tragically, most people never get to see that all is well because they are asleep. They are having a nightmare.
