I like to say understanding is the power.

My experience is that the teachers we need most are the people we're living with right now.

Do you know anyone who hasn't changed his mind? This door was a tree, then it will be firewood for someone, then it will return to air and earth. We're all like that, constantly changing. It's simply honest to report that you've changed your mind when you have. When you're afraid of what people will think if you speak honestly, that's where you become confused.

'I don't know' is my favorite position.

When you realize that every stressful moment you experience is a gift that points you to your own freedom, life becomes very kind.

Once we begin to question our thoughts, our partners-alive, dead or divorced-are always our greatest teachers. There's no mistake about the person you're with; he or she is the perfect teacher for you, whether or not the relationship works out, and once you enter inquiry, you come to see that clearly.

The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself.
