I like to say it was born out of laughter.

Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do.

Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation-from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.

Our job is unconditional love. The job of everyone else in our life is to push our buttons.

Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you're attached to something not true for you.

Peace doesn't require two people; it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.

Fear has only two causes: the thought of losing what you have or the thought of not getting what you want.

Pay close attention to the particular thoughts you use to deprive yourself of happiness.

If you want real control, drop the illusion of control; let life have you. It does anyway. You’re just telling yourself the story of how it doesn’t.

It's not your job to like me - it's mine

It's not the problem that causes our suffering; it's our thinking about the problem.

It seemed too good to be true. That's grace.

You have to go through the falling down in order to learn to walk. It helps to know that you can survive it. That's an education in itself.

A sense of humor is the best indicator that you will recover; it is often the best indicator that people will love you. Sustain that and you have hope.

I know people I feel are extremely talented, but I don’t know that I’ve ever heard any geniuses.

If you have a target, you will walk more lively even in the middle of a desert!

I'm not an austere person.

My father was a bullfighter.

Ideas have consequences.

The undisciplined man doesn't wrong himself alone- he sets fire to the whole world.

The isolation, the separateness, is always a part of any utopia.
