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?

The only one interested in hearing your sad story is . . . you; and even you wish you didn't have to relive it again!

Every one of us lives in a world that is no larger and no smaller than our understanding.

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

Who you really are, your True Nature, is no more tied to the kind of person you've been than the wind is tied to the skies through which it moves.

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

To know that every moment — regardless of how it comes wrapped — is a gift greater than you can give yourself, is to be well on your way to a life without fear.
