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.

The past is as powerless to darken the present moment as is a shadow to reach up and drag down the form that casts it.

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?"

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

Anyone or anything that asks you to be untrue to yourself has already acted against you.

Any form of measuring yourself by the unkind action of another towards you is like looking into a badly fractured mirror... and then blaming yourself for the shattered image you see therein.

You cannot separate the onset of a disturbing moment in life from the appearance of some simultaneous new possibility to know a deeper and more unshakable sense of peace.
