Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another.

Do I have to change my name, will it get me far? Should I lose some weight, am I gonna be a star?

Truth is never far behind.

The idea of service to humanity, putting yourself in situations where people have much less than you do, puts life in perspective.

That consciousness is everything and that all things begin with a thought. That we are responsible for our own fate, we reap what we sow, we get what we give, we pull in what we put out.

Who needs the sun, when the rain is so full of life?

You're so consumed with how much you get, you waste your time with hate and regret.
