Awareness of your weakness and confusion makes you strong because conscious awareness is the bright light that destroys the darkness of negativity. Detection of inner negativity is not a negative act, but a courageously positive act that makes you a new person.

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.

All heartache is caused by wrong viewpoints.

Don't look for someone in whom to believe. Believe in yourself. The only authentic authority is your own original nature.

When told that man lives in delusion everyone thinks of himself as the exception; hence his delusion.

The only way to do something truly important every day is to seek to understand yourself every day.

A desperation to escape a problem is the wrong way. A passion to understand it is the right way
