The world consists of imaginary people, claiming imaginary virtues and suffering from imaginary happiness.

A person obsessed with the need to be happy will never be so. The obsession is the obstruction.

Procrastination is illogical from every viewpoint. It is like the man who wanted to cross the stream, so he sat on the bank to wait for all the water to run by.

Don't try to be spiritual. That is only a word in the dictionary. Make it your goal to become a normally functioning individual. Let these principles shape you according to your real nature of a simple, decent, honest, unafraid human being.

You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.

An obvious fact about negative feelings is often overlooked. They are caused by us, not by exterior happenings. An outside event presents the challenge, but we react to it. So we must attend to the way we take things, not to the things themselves.

Every day that you attempt to see things as they are in truth Is a supremely successful day.
