I have lived enough to know great things will unfold for me externally only if I allow them to unfold for me internally.

Of course, a woman's choice to go out into the world is a very significant thing. But part of real liberation is recognizing that mothering is every bit as important as other kinds of work. I actually believe it's more important than anything we do out in the world.

Great spiritual teachings do not change, but we do. As we grow older and wiser, we can receive the teachings at deeper levels.

Where there is peace, there cannot be chaos; the two cannot coexist at the same time.

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.

We think that because we dwell inside our bodies that we are separate from other people who dwell inside theirs.

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