There are people today who look to fear to take us out of fear. But I believe that there are many, many more people who would look to love.

You don't need a new life, just a new lens through which to view the one you have.

Making our goal anything other than peace is emotionally self-destructive.

The solution to low self-esteem is to get over yourself and get a higher purpose.

The power of nonviolence is not circumstance-specific. It is as applicable to the problems that confront us now, as to problems that confronted generations in the past. It is not a medicine or a solution so much as a healing process. It is the active spiritual immune system of humanity.

People who have life-challenging experiences who choose to remain invested in a consistent catastrophic interpretation are not the ones I meet. I have met many more people who have recognized how vital it is to their healing and to the quality of their life to interpret their experiences differently. That is why some of the people I've met who have life-challenging illnesses are much happier than some people I've known who are physically quite healthy and yet who live lives of greater desperation and depression.

It is your thoughts and your thoughts alone that determine what's possible for you now.
