You know what is right. Deep down, you know. The battle between your true wisdom and the counterfeit wisdom of society is what causes frustration. Refuse to compromise with what you know is right-with what is right for you.

Happiness is not the acquisition of anything; it's the understanding of something.

Do not mistake desire for love. Desire leaves home in a frantic search for one gratification after another. Love is at home with itself.

We can no more enjoy life by hoping for a future result than we can enjoy music by waiting for the final note.

Quit thinking that you must halt before the barrier of inner negativity. You need not. You can crash through... whatever we see a negative state, that is where we can destroy it.

Self-knowledge is the great power by which we comprehend and control our lives

When one plan that you have, to get this or to get that, to advance in the world, or whatever it might be, when that seems in danger of veering off the path you have set for it, you have your emergency plan ready. And in simple language what that emergency plan is, what you put into operation, is called worry. If you can worry you are occupied, and what an incredible human situation it is!
