True happiness isn't something that can be made. It isn't the result of anything. Happiness comes to those who understand that you can't seek it any more than you seek the air you breathe. It is a part of life to be found within living. ... All pursuit of happiness is based upon the false assumption that there is a way to possess it; you may as well try to grab a handful of breeze! Happiness is the natural expression of a stress-free life, just as sunlight naturally warms the Earth after dark clouds appear.

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.

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.

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.

Ours is the task of discovering that our true nature has nothing to fear.

Nothing in the universe can stop you from letting go and starting over.
