The only way to gain power in a world that is moving too fast is to learn to slow down. And the only way to spread one’s influence wide to learn how to go deep. The world we want for ourselves and our children will not emerge from electronic speed but rather from a spiritual stillness that takes root in our souls. Then, and only then, will we create a world that reflects the heart instead of shattering it.

The only thing missing in any situation is that in which you are not giving

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

Think of your career as your ministry. Make your work an expression of love in service to mankind.

Sometimes you are lifted up to the mountaintop as a gift from the universe, so you can see what is possible. Then you are put down back at the bottom: Now you have to earn it for yourself.

By bringing the past into the present, we create a future just like the past. By letting the past go, we make room for miracles.

We need to shift from an economic to a humanitarian organizing principle for human civilization. And women, en masse, should be saying so.
