The human spirit lives on creativity and dies in conformity and routine.

In our relationships we need to uphold that aspect of the person which is the real person and the soul beyond their own self-doubt.

Overcome any bitterness that may have come because you were not up to the magnitude of the pain entrusted to you. Like the mother of the world who carries the pain of the world in her heart, you are sharing in a certain measure of that cosmic pain, and are called upon to meet it in joy instead of self pity.

Dive deeply into the miracle of life and let the tips of your wings be burnt by the flame, let your feet be lacerated by the thorns, let your heart be stirred by human emotion, and let your soul be lifted beyond the earth.

The future is not there waiting for us. We create it by the power of imagination.

We first have to find the way of freedom from involvement before we can introduce freedom in involvement.

Though you may not be able to change it, you can handle an ugly situation beautifully.
