Everything we do is either an act of love or a cry for help.

There is an old cliche, 'You can see the glass half empty, or you can see it half full.' You can focus on what's wrong in your life, or you can focus on what's right. But whatever you focus on, you're going to get more of. Creation is an extension of thought. Think lack, and you get lack. Think abundance, and you get more.

Don't be concerned that things appear to be falling apart: this has to happen in order for something new and wonderful to emerge.

We cannot give what we do not have: We cannot bring peace to the world if we ourselves are not peaceful. We cannot bring love to the world if we ourselves are not loving. Our true gift to ourselves and others lies not in what we have but in who we are.

We do not heal the past by dwelling there. We heal the past by living in the present.

We don't need to fight the forces of chaos so much as we need to restore and revitalize the forces of peace.

I don't believe the United States is going through a midlife crisis. The United States is going through an adolescent crisis.
