An unattended mind is the breeding ground of self-defeat.

If we only knew how many times our seemingly clever comment cut straight into the heart of the person with whom we have just spoken, it is we who would bleed.

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

Trying to change ourselves in order to please others - so that we can feel temporarily whole for having won their approval - is like cutting a flower into pieces so that it will fit into a vase.

We become what we love. What we put first in our lives is what we receive from life.

No truly conscious human being sabotages himself - it's impossible, because it's contrary to Nature.

The secret self knows the anguish of our attachments and assures us that letting go of what we think we must have to be happy is the same as letting go of our unhappiness.
