Every one of us lives in a world that is no larger and no smaller than our understanding.

The only way to cultivate a quiet mind is by planting seeds of silence.

Looking to any angry, anxious, or otherwise stressed emotional state to help you sort out the pain you're in is like trying to organize your monthly bills by throwing them into a blender

We conquer ourselves by learning patience, for she gives to us our longed for victory only in the surrender of self.

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.

Each time we see and are touched by the expression of some eternal principle, we catch a sweet glimpse of some aspect of our True Self.

Every relationship that we have in our lives - our contact with each person, place, and event - serves a very special, if yet to be realized purpose: They are mirrors that can serve to show us things about ourselves that can be realized in no other way.
