Discouragement tricks you into mentally or emotionally dwelling in the very place you want to leave.

Instead of always asking yourself why so-and-so acts this or that way, learn to ask: "What's inside of me that wants to hurt itself over how anyone else acts?"

If I am identified with my relationship, with my house, or with my money, I am doomed to suffer.

Better that the whole world should turn against you... than you should consent to turn against what is true within you.

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.

The Peace you long for also longs for you.

Life isn't a race to win, it's a school for our higher education.
