In the end, forgiveness simply means never putting another person out of our heart.

The heart is like a garden. It can grow compassion or fear, resentment or love. What seeds will you plant there?

If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.

The things that matter most in our lives are not fantastic or grand. They are the moments when we touch one another.

Most of us have spent our lives caught up in plans, expectations, ambitions for the future; in regrets, guilt or shame about the past. To come into the present is to stop the war.

We do not have to improve ourselves; we just have to let go of what blocks our heart.

Do not doubt your own basic goodness. In spite of all confusion and fear, you are born with a heart that knows what is just, loving, and beautiful.

In the end, just three things matter: How well we have lived How well we have loved How well we have learned to let go

Have respect for yourself, and patience and compassion. With these, you can handle anything.

Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be. Let your body relax and your heart soften. Open to whatever you experience without fighting.

The basic principle of spiritual life is that our problems become the very place to discover wisdom and love.

Quality brings security and confidence

You're it for me, Katie. You're my world now.

The writer crafts their ideal world. In my world, everyone has really long conversations or just picks apart pop culture to death and everyone talks in monologue.

I just wouldn't have believed a ball could be hit that hard. I've never seen anything like it.

Action is the parent of results; dormancy, the brooding mother of discontent.

I think I'm just really sensitive to the world. I really feel like I spend a lot of time "turned off".

I think maybe, if I could be a Canadian super hero, I'd have some kind of freezing power and some sort of maple syrup weapon. Could be a little sticky.

Sometimes it is the person closest to us who must travel the furthest distance to be our friend.

I'm famous now. But now that I've got fame and some of the other things I thought would make me happy - it ain't worked

As the body lives by breathing, so the soul lives by believing.
