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

Find yourself for courage and confidence are as easy as breathing to the person who really knows who he is.

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

The problem is not what other people think, do or say; it is your reaction.

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 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.

The power of the present moment is so immense it is capable - when lived in fully - of destroying forever every past mistake and regret.
