The nuns taught me that the best thing you can do in life when things get difficult is to work.

The mind is afraid of its own dissolution. Life always seeks life.

If someone has something you want, they can wrap you - they can make you think that they've got something that you have to get from them. They're the exclusive source. They are the only one who can make you happy.

Compassion allows us to accept everything. That's why there's always a tear in the eye of the Buddha that no one sees, for the pain and suffering of others.

The description of the world that most people have is very limited. They are in the fog. Once in a while a genuine insight comes through.

You don't live forever, at least in this life.

Winning is based to a certain extent upon personal power. If you have enough personal power you tend to win. If you don't, you tend to lose.
