Life's battles don't always go to the strongest or fastest; sooner or later those who win are those who think they can.

Most gulls don't bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight - how to get from shore to food and back again

There is a kind of silver spiderweb that's spun around the world, and the strands of that web are certain loves and certain understandings. And if we follow those, and if we walk those strands, we're going to meet others at the intersections who have been walking the same way across this web. And when we meet, there's a kind of "I know who you are."

The only enlightened masters I know are the people that I see every day and the people that I've seen through my life who have had the understanding, at some level, that we're here to express love.

Not being known doesn't stop the truth from being true.

There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go.

Know that ever about you stands the reality of love, and each moment you have the power to transform your world by what you have learned.
