No amount of meditation, yoga, diet, and reflection will make all of our problems go away, but we can transform our difficulties into our practice until little by little they guide us on our way.

We must look at ourselves over and over again in order to learn to love, to discover what has kept our hearts closed, and what it means to allow our hearts to open.

As surely as there is a voyage away, there is a journey home.

The things that matter most in our lives are not fantastic or grand. They are the moments when we touch one another.

Wisdom says we are nothing. Love says we are everything. Between these two our life flows.

Though outer events may be difficult, the key to our happiness is how our mind responds to them.

A bulging portfolio of spiritual experiences matters little if it does not have the power to sustain us through the inevitable moments of grief, loss, and change. Knowledge and achievements matter little if we do not yet know how to touch the heart of another and be touched. Wisdom is alive only as long as it is lived, understanding is liberating only as long as it is applied.
