Affecting the world is obviously possible when we see people in the world who we really love and respect and we see how that they affect our lives.

There is no peace in the world until you find peace within yourself in this moment.

There's no way that a clear mind can live an unhappy life.

You're never given more pain than you can handle. You never, ever get more than you can take.

The only time we suffer is when we believe a thought that argues with what is. When the mind is perfectly clear, what is is what we want.

The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself. If we can't find peace within ourselves, where is the hope for peace in the world?

Until you can see everything in the world as your friend, your work is not done.
