As the lesser is always found within the greater, so this principle holds true with regards to time and the eternal.

It only seems that there is something more important for you to do than to just quietly be yourself.

Real love cannot be deceived because it wants nothing outside of itself

Eventually, we reach the point where we start to realize that we are not going to find peace, contentment, happiness, strength, fearlessness - all of the things that in our heart of hearts we wish we had - outside of us.

Rushing around, hoping to find peace of mind anywhere other than within yourself, is like looking for your heart in someone else's body!

Trying to change ourselves in order to please others - so that we can feel temporarily whole for having won their approval - is like cutting a flower into pieces so that it will fit into a vase.

The only thing worried thoughts have the power to change is what the next thing will be for you to worry over!
