If you ever lit a cigarette in your life, you have very little will to live.

You take your car in for checkups more than you take your body in for checkups. And you change the oil in your car more than you change some of your habits, and some of the things you're putting into your body. So, for heaven's sake, take better care of your body.

There is no need to punish yourself. Simply notice what you've been choosing and choose again.

Do not confuse excellence with perfection. The first is possible to achieve, the second is probably not.

One either has to believe in a God who's terribly prejudiced, or disbelieve the teachings of such exclusionary theologies. Religions have taught us that 'we are better than they.'

The struggle ends when gratitude begins.

Life begins now -- right now -- not tomorrow or the next day or the next. Every minute of every hour of every day, life begins anew. That means everything can change in an instant. It also means you can have a new beginning whenever you want.
