When you feel yourself in the grip of an emotion such as jealousy or anger or sorrow, detach yourself from it. Take a step back. When you do that, you can allow the emotion to run through you without causing negative thoughts or actions.

Knowledge is power, and for each level of knowledge, you are held responsible for how you use it.

The place to begin the task of eliminating evil is within yourself.

Feel your intentions in your heart. Feel not what your mind tells you, but what your heart tells you.

Your impact on the world is significant whether or not you are aware of it, and even whether or not you desire it.

Your pain is an opportunity for you to learn about yourself.
