We're doing terribly. We're leaving these unborn children trillions of dollars of debt, which is just horrific. We're leaving nuclear weapons - enough to end life as we know it - all over the planet. We're leaving a legacy of violence and killing and guns.

Amidst the rush of worldly comings and goings, I observe how all endings become beginnings

Money, success, and the external trappings have chased after me wherever I have gone. These things show up in my life, and I just keep passing them on. I don't hang onto them myself at all. I have very few needs like that.

Consider those whom you call your enemies and figure out what they should call you.

Our intentions create our reality.

Rejoice in the prosperity of others. When you feel contemptuous, or even a twinge of jealousy, toward the accomplishments or life-styles of others, you are harboring negativity where love must reside.

A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe.
