I think people instinctively know that their job is to give service and that they are part of a community. It had a great impact on me when my father walked the picket lines and I walked with him during the civil rights movement.

I'm not a politician. I only want to help relieve the suffering in communities, and I want to help people see their community in each other.

When the mind is totally still, there's only bliss. I got a piece of that reality from my first yoga class, from smiling and breathing in every difficult pose. I went, "Oh my God! I'm clear! I love this!"

I can't pay my [bills]. I can't go to work. My car is out of gas.

Decide that no matter what is happening around you, the sun will always be shining in your world.

The less you need, the more you attract.

I know some people say "Keep your eyes on the prize," but I disagree. When your eyes are stuck on the prize, you're going to keep stumbling and crashing into things. If you really want to get ahead, you've got to keep your eyes focused on the path.
