Sinners often speak the truth. And saints have led people astray. Examine what is said, not the one who says it.
Anthony de MelloSay goodbye to golden yesterdays: or your heart will never learn to love the present.
Anthony de MelloA thought is a screen, not a mirror; that is why you live in a thought envelope, untouched by Reality.
Anthony de MelloNegative feelings are in you, not in reality. Stop trying to change reality. That's crazy! Stop trying to change the other person. We spend all our time and energy trying to change external circumstances, trying to change our spouses, our bosses, our friends, our enemies, and everybody else. We don't have to change anything. Negative feelings are in you.
Anthony de Mello
