One of the most sublime experiences we can ever have is to wake up feeling healthy after we have been sick.

Forgiveness is a favor we do for ourselves, not a favor we do to the other party.

Seek something outside your nine-to-five job as an additional source of fulfillment and as a way to feel the joy of helping others.

We are here to change the world with small acts of thoughtfulness done daily rather than with one great breakthrough.

We don't have to be afraid of dying because it's not really death that scares us. We are afraid of not having lived.

But at the end, if we are brave enough to love, if we are strong enough to forgive, if we are generous enough to rejoice in another's happiness, and if we are wise enough to know that there is enough love to go around for us all, then we can achieve a fulfillment that no other living creature will ever know, we can reenter paradise.

I suspect that the happiest people you know are the ones who work at being kind, helpful and reliable - and happiness sneaks into their lives while they are busy doing those things. It is a by-product, never a primary goal.
