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

The only reason you do not do great things is because you timidly cling to small things. Will you let loose of small things and bear the uncertainty of having nothing for a while? Do this and eventually you will do great things.

We are exactly where we have chosen to be.

The Truth must be told at all costs, no matter how unpopular it may be. The authentic spiritual leader, having freed himself of his own false need to be popular, tells the Truth whether it falls on fertile or stony ground. Such a teacher is the salt of the earth, though few know it. If you think the world is delirious as is, you would find it intolerable without his healing influence.

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

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

You need only choose ... then keep choosing as many times as necessary. That is all you need do. And it is certainly something you can do. Then as you continue to choose, everything is yours.
