Any daily activity can be used as an opportunity for meditation.

If we could see the whole truth of any situation, our only response would be one of compassion.

All that we are looking for in life - all the happiness, contentment, and peace of mind - is right here in the present moment.

Compassion is the spontaneous wisdom of the heart. It's always with us. It always has been, and always will be. When it arises in us, we've simply learned to see how strong and safe we really are.

When you transform your mind, everything you experience is transformed.

The opportunity to experience yourself differently is always available.

Happiness and unhappiness are not primarily created by the material world or the physical body. First and foremost, they are decisions of the mind.

The mind is the source of all experience, and by changing the direction of the mind, we can change the quality of everything we experience.

When we become fixed in our perceptions we lose our ability to fly.

There's no difference between what is seen and the mind that sees it.

Within our perceived weaknesses and imperfections lies the key to realizing our true strength.

If your will is your deepest pure desires, then it will manifest in its own due time.

I once got lost in a dark woods with no supplies.Struggling to deal with nature, beasts and storms, that was time when I lost my arrogance as human.

When I get home I take some sleeping pills and within what seemed like half an hour of unconsciousness it was Monday morning again.

The role of women has always been undervalued in the spy world, always undermined in terms of recognition. Unfairly so. It's a world that needs women.

I get up at 4:30 in the morning, seven days a week, no matter where I am in the world.

It's funny, I listen to friends who talk about back when they were 14, eight, 16, whatever, as if it was yesterday. Me, I've no idea what I did. It's all a blur, I'm afraid.

Computers are like humans - they do everything except think.

Courage is nine-tenths context. What is courageous in one setting can be foolhardy in another and even cowardly in a third.

Most of the successful people in Hollywood are failures as human beings.

I try not to have regrets and to learn from every experience.
