The real quality of our life is not determined by what we have won from it, but by what we have discovered within it.

Everything passes. There is great beauty in this, both in the passing of pain and in the passing of pleasure. When things present themselves to you as permanent, don't believe it.

Until you can love what the truth would teach you about yourself... then your love is incomplete.

If you don't leap, you'll never know what it's like to fly.

To know that every moment — regardless of how it comes wrapped — is a gift greater than you can give yourself, is to be well on your way to a life without fear.

Never speak out of anger, Never act out of fear, Never choose from impatience, But wait... and peace will appear.

What good is any feeling we may have about ourselves, if it only lasts as long as others agree to it?
