There is nothing that isn't true if you believe it; and nothing is true, believe it or not.

There is no security for those who seek it outside of themselves.

Peace doesn't require two people; it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.

If I had a prayer, it would be this: "God, spare me from the desire for love, approval, or appreciation. Amen."

Since the past is unreal and the future is unreal, all your thoughts are about nothing.

It's very benign, it seems, to think, "There's a tree." In fact, it's a very beautiful thought. If someone chops down all the trees, then we think, "Oh, my goodness, something is out of order in my world." We begin to think, "Who am I in a world without trees?"

Nothing terrible has ever happened except in our thinking. Reality is always good, even in situations that seem like nightmares. The story we tell is the only nightmare that we have lived.
