If we do not appreciate the sensitivity and subtlety of the human heart, how can we appreciate the sensitivity and subtlety of the natural world?

Our only reliable source of strength is the goodness of our hearts. Our only foundation for coming to terms with the suffering of the times is our innate need to be decent human beings.

To shift the direction of our planet, we must now be willing to experiment with the theory that within the speed and stress, we are good.

Even when we speak of selflessness, the mind goes to "me." We think, "I'm selfless," but everything is selfless.

The wise are balanced, and the foolish are extreme.

Caring for others is the basis of worldly success.

When stress is the basic state of mind, even good things stress us out. We have to learn to let go.
