So be gentle with yourself; show yourself the same kindness and patience you might show a young child - the child you once were. If you won’t be your own friend, who will be? If, when playing an opponent, you are also opposing yourself, you will be outnumbered.

Sometimes I look back and think, "How did I write that? The book is smarter than I am!" I have never written strategically, but rather, followed the dictates of my muse.

Words mean little unless you realize the truth of it yourself. And when you do, you'll be free at last.

Live with a peaceful heart; cultivate a warrior's spirit.

Freedom from mental distraction equals power.

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

You can change your life with a simple shift of attention. But to make that simple shift, you have to find your heart. It's the only way. Accept yourself, then transcend yourself.
