We become in part what our senses take in.

Instead of looking at difficulties as deprivations, we can learn to recognize them as opportunities for deepening and widening our love.

We have to have a purpose greater than the endless struggle to satisfy personal desires.

We have no need to teach pure motives to the mind. All that is necessary to make the mind pure is to undo the negative conditioning to which it has been subjected; then we will be left with Pure, Unconditioned Awareness.

Every angry thought makes it a little easier to get angry the next time, and a little more likely.

Our deepest need is for the joy that comes with knowing we are of genuine use to others.

Lasting change happens when people see for themselves that a different way of life is more fulfilling than their present one.
