I don't think of spiritual principle as a struggle. I think of life lived without spiritual principles as a struggle.

My hope is that I'm getting better and wiser. With every book, I have more of myself to pour onto the page.

The way to have the life we want is to receive more deeply the life we have. Sometimes we keep our own life at arm's length, thinking we'll wait until circumstances improve before giving it all we've got. But life is just a reflection of consciousness, so it's never going to give any more to us than we give to it. Don't wait for a perfect life; breathe in the life that's already perfect.

Success means we go to sleep at night knowing that our talents and ablities were used in a way that served others.

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

I think we're ripe for social revolution now. There is the necessary yearning, and the necessary, or at least incipient, outrage. And there is an inchoate knowing that all is not right.

The end does not justify the means. If we try to be someone we are not in order to achieve a result, then the result cannot help but be something other than what we intended.
