Every angry thought makes it a little easier to get angry the next time, and a little more likely.

A mind that is fast is sick. A mind that is slow is sound. A mind that is still is divine.

A calm mind releases the most precious capacity a human being can have: the capacity to turn anger into compassion, fear into fearlessness, and hatred into love.

When we go slower, we are more patient and when we are more patient we have a choice in how we respond.

When we meditate every morning we are putting on armor for the day's battle against our own impatience, inadequacy, resentment, and hostility.

The real essentials of life - compassion, kindness, good will, forgiveness - are what is fundamental to living as a true human being.

Some men get the world, some men get ex-hookers and a trip to Arizona. You're in with the former, but my God I don't envy the blood on your conscience.

Work is no longer challenging.

Happy people have no history.

Liberty is often a heavy burden on a man. It involves the necessity for perpetual choice which is the kind of labor men have always dreaded.
