The opinion which other people have of you is their problem, not yours.

The only incontrovertible fact of my work is the importance of life.

It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth - and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.

I believe every person has a guardian spirit or angel. They assist us in the transition between life and death and they also help us pick our parents before we are born.

As far as service goes, it can take the form of a million things. To do service, you don't have to be a doctor working in the slums for free, or become a social worker. Your position in life and what you do doesn't matter as much as how you do what you do.

Our only purpose in life is growth.

For those who seek to understand it, death is a highly creative force. The highest spiritual values of life can originate from the thought and study of death.
