Once you know what it means to choose in favor of yourself, there is no power in the universe that can make you choose against yourself.

One way to measure your own fears is to count the number of personal questions you've allowed others to answer for you.

Psychologically speaking, what is true requires no protection, and never becomes negative when challenged. On the other hand, what is false almost never stops trying to protect itself, which it does by finding fault with whatever or whoever challenges the false image behind which it always hides.

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

Every truth ever discovered -- each new light that will ever burn bright -- already exists in our consciousness. All we will ever know and share about love, humility, compassion, and sacrifice -- the secrets that will reveal and then resolve old sorrows -- awaits us within ourselves. Hidden in this truth is our great promise, both as individuals and as a race of beings.

Disappointment, discouragement, and despair are nothing but the bitter fruit of an unfulfilled expectation allowed to live beyond its time.

Never run from what you don't understand, as it will be waiting for you every time you come to a stop.
