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

Psychologically speaking, what is true requires no protection, and never becomes negative when challenged. On the other hand, what is false almost never stops trying to protect itself, which it does by finding fault with whatever or whoever challenges the false image behind which it always hides.

Rushing around, hoping to find peace of mind anywhere other than within yourself, is like looking for your heart in someone else's body!

Self-pity is the campsite of self-defeat; it is a dark refuge for those parts of us that would rather wallow in what cannot be than dare to explore what is possible.

The past is as powerless to darken the present moment as is a shadow to reach up and drag down the form that casts it.

Talking to yourself proves only one thing: you're still unable to tell the difference between good and bad company.

A crisis is a close encounter of the third kind.
