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.

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.

Instead of always asking yourself how to clear up your mental fog, learn to ask: "Can confusion know anything about clarity?"

Instead of always asking how to get others to approve of you... learn to ask: What do I really want, the applause of the crowds or to quietly have my own life?

Trying to “fix” the people in your life that cause you pain is like massaging your shoes because your feet ache.

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

Knowledge without Spirit is like finding yourself on a cold night with all the wood in the world and no flame to ignite it.
