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.

Being human means having power; specifically, the power to accomplish whatever we want.

Never misconceive that which is real

Well, I'm not one of those people who needs the limelight. If I'm performing, that's what I'm doing. If I'm not, I don't long for it. I don't need the approval of an audience, or applause.

The cure of the part should not be attempted without the cure of the whole.

I exist as I am, that is enough, If no other in the world be aware, I sit content, And if each and all be aware, I sit content.
