No one appears on our stage unless the director has placed them there for our benefit

We are what we think we are. The habitual inclination of our thoughts determines our talents and abilities, and our personality. So whatever you want to be, start to develop that pattern now.

If you have a strong mind and plant in it a firm resolve, you can change your destiny.

Possession of material riches, without inner peace, is like dying of thirst while bathing in a lake. If material poverty is to be avoided, spiritual poverty is to be abhorred. For it is spiritual poverty, not material lack, that lies at the core of all human suffering.

If you possess happiness you possess everything: to be happy is to be in tune with God.

In the spiritual life one becomes just like a little child, without resentment, without attachment, full of life and joy.

Keep puffing on the bubble until it breaks its confining walls and becomes the sea of joy.
