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.

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

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

If you don't leap, you'll never know what it's like to fly.

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.

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

Each moment of every one of my relationships serves as the secret path to the summit of myself.
