* The essential respect is the one in your own heart for yourself.

The struggle to excavate your true, authentic self from beneath the mountain of conditioning and ridiculous expectation is the epic struggle of your lifetime.

We must quit thinking we know everything, and quit placing "knowledge" over kindness and compassion.

The ultimate question of who we are is set before us at all times and answered with every action.

The act of true giving is indistinguishable from receiving.

The greatest joys in life are found not only in what we do and feel, but also in our quiet hopes and labors for others.

Wish for the happiness of your enemies, for if they are happy, they are your enemy no more.
