No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.

When you call me European, I say yes. When you call me Arab, I say yes. When you call me black, I say yes. When you call me white, I say yes. Because I am in you and you are in me. We have to inter-be with everything in the cosmos.

In the moment when we are able to smile, to look at ourselves with compassion, our world begins to change.

The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it. (21)

There are some people who eat an orange but don't really eat it. They eat their sorrow, fear, anger, past, and future.

Because you are alive, everything is possible.

The source of a true smile is an awakened mind. Smiling helps you approach the day with gentleness and understanding.
