If we make our goal to live a life of compassion and unconditional love, then the world will indeed become a garden where all kinds of flowers can bloom and grow.

We run after values that, at death, become zero. At the end of your life, nobody asks you how many degrees you have, or how many mansions you built, or how many Rolls Royces you could afford. That's what dying patients teach you.

The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is unconditional love, which includes not only others but ourselves as well.

It's not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather our concern must be to live while we're alive.

The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not "get over" the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to.

We cannot find peace if we are afraid of the windstorms of life.

When I die I'm going to dance first in all the galaxies...I'm gonna play and dance and sing.
