I am calmly active, actively calm. I am the prince of peace sitting on a throne of poise, directing the kingdom of my activity.

If you want to be sad, no one in the world can make you happy. But if you make up your mind to be happy, no one and nothing on earth can take that happiness from you.

Change yourself and you have done your part in changing the world

Live quietly in the moment and see the beauty of all before you. The future will take care of itself.

I am a spark from the Infinite. I am not flesh and bones. I am light.

Be kind to others, so that you may learn the secret art of being kind to yourself.

No one appears on our stage unless the director has placed them there for our benefit

It is spiritual poverty, not material lack, that lies at the core of all human suffering.

Be honest with yourself. The world is not honest with you. The world loves hypocrisy. When you are honest with yourself you find the road to inner peace.

Having lots of money while not having inner peace is like dying of thirst while bathing in the ocean.

Meet everybody and every circumstance on the battlefield of life with the courage of a hero and the smile of a conqueror.

Your consciousness creates pure potentiality where nothing is impossible.

I knew how severe I had been and how bad things had been. The one who is doing his work and getting satisfaction from it is not the one who poverty bothers.

It's just as much a stretch to believe in God as it is to be an Atheist

To be getting an education means this: to be learning what is your own, and what is not your own.

One of the blessings and curses of my life is that I carry so many projects at the same time.

Shut up and write. Don't talk about writing, just physically do it.

It is not beyond our power to create a world in which all children have access to a good education.

I was unwilling to - without getting too philosophical about it - I was unwilling to structure my spirituality in the way that the church wanted me to structure it.

I wasn't a great communicator, but I communicated great things.

I wanted to make people feel the same way I feel when I see a good movie.
