A whole new kind of spiritual happiness dawns in us as we realize that dark clouds do not ruin sunny skies... they merely pass through them to help us remember our love of the light.

Chasing after a pleasure to ease a pain is like running after a breeze to cool you down.

The only world in which "defeat" exists as a reality is the one darkened by the false idea that what may have happened to us a moment ago is the same as what's possible for us to achieve now.

The more time we spend considering the shortcomings of others, the smaller a person we become.

The vast majority of our troubles and heartaches would simply vanish from view if only we could remember - before we act - that we are made victims mostly by our own tendencies.

Make it your moment-to-moment aim to recognize the difference between being aware of your thoughts, and being carried along by them.

The greatest power you possess in life is your understanding that life gives you a fresh start any moment you choose.
