If you want a kinder world, then behave with kindness; if you want a peaceful world, make peace within.

If you face just one opponent, and you doubt yourself, you're out-numbered

It may be true that the unexamined life is not worth living-but neither is the unlived life worth examining.

To see where something leads, it's best to wait until you've reached the end.

People love miracle stories and dramatic moments of transcendence or transformation, and may then pursue their own dramatic "awakenings."

Pain is a relatively objective, physical phenomenon; suffering is our psychological resistance to what happens. Events may create physical pain, but they do not in themselves create suffering. Resistance creates suffering. Stress happens when your mind resists what is... The only problem in your life is your mind's resistance to life as it unfolds.

Life is not suffering; it's just that you will suffer it, rather than enjoy it, until you let go of your mind's attachments and just go for the ride freely, no matter what happens.
