Mindfulness is about love and loving life. When you cultivate this love, it gives you clarity and compassion for life, and your actions happen in accordance with that.

You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.

It is indeed a radical act of love just to sit down and be quiet for a time by yourself.

Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.

The little things? The little moments? They aren't little.

Patience is a form of wisdom. It demonstrates that we understand and accept the fact that sometimes things must unfold in their own time.

Meditation is the only intentional, systematic human activity which at bottom is about not trying to improve yourself or get anywhere else, but simply to realize where you already are.

If we are honest with ourselves, most of us will have to admit that we live out our lives in an ocean of fear.

Just watch this moment, without trying to change it at all. What is happening? What do you feel? What do you see? What do you hear?

All the suffering, stress, and addiction comes from not realizing you already are what you are looking for.

We take care of the future best by taking care of the present now.

If only you are patient, you will overcome any situation.

A battle lost or won is easily described, understood, and appreciated, but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection, as well as observation, to appreciate it.

We don't need no trouble! What we need is love!

I'm still trying to re-create a Ray Charles concert that I heard when I was fifteen years old, and all my nerve endings were fried and transformed, and electricity shot through me.

Coming back to a television series puts you back in the limelight and gives you a platform for your ideas. If you're not acting on a series, you don't get the ability to communicate to people.

We merely want to live in peace with all the world.

The words that come out of our mouths do not vanish but are perpetually stored in infinite space, and they will come back to us in due time.

It's not the future I'm talking about, I'm talking about tomorrow.

The nature of life is to grow.

A lot of labels are hiring a lot more accountants than people that know music.
