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

Disappointment, discouragement, and despair are nothing but the bitter fruit of an unfulfilled expectation allowed to live beyond its time.

There is nothing as certain as silence, stillness, and solitude to introduce you to the secrets of yourself.

Each moment of life is only as precious as is our ability to attend to it.

It only seems that there is something more important for you to do than to just quietly be yourself.

True happiness isn't something that can be made. It isn't the result of anything. Happiness comes to those who understand that you can't seek it any more than you seek the air you breathe. It is a part of life to be found within living. ... All pursuit of happiness is based upon the false assumption that there is a way to possess it; you may as well try to grab a handful of breeze! Happiness is the natural expression of a stress-free life, just as sunlight naturally warms the Earth after dark clouds appear.

Who you really are, your True Nature, is no more tied to the kind of person you've been than the wind is tied to the skies through which it moves.
