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

If any of those times you rushed around madly - trying to get somewhere faster - had ever made any real difference in the quality of your life... don't you think you'd be able to slow down by now?

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

The only world in which "defeat" exists as a reality is the one darkened by the false idea that what may have happened to us a moment ago is the same as what's possible for us to achieve now.

Any form of measuring yourself by the unkind action of another towards you is like looking into a badly fractured mirror... and then blaming yourself for the shattered image you see therein.

If we only knew how many times our seemingly clever comment cut straight into the heart of the person with whom we have just spoken, it is we who would bleed.

Anyone or anything that asks you to be untrue to yourself has already acted against you.
