Do not let your grand ambitions stand in the way of small but meaningful accomplishments.

We must be kind and gentle gardeners with people and nature.

Stop your worrying, panicking and stressing. Breathe. Remember, you made it this far through difficulties that seemed impossible. Remember how many times you were saved at the very last minute -- this time is no different.

When we want to talk, we can instead listen, and let our attentiveness to another's need to speak be our silent statement.

The folly of endless consumerism sends us on a wild goose-chase for happiness through materialism.

* What we do to others, we do to ourselves.

There is no greater intelligence than kindness and empathy.
