Mindfulness is both a state of being and a daily spiritual practice, a form of meditation.

Humility means accepting reality with no attempt to outsmart it.

We do not create our destiny; we participate in its unfolding. Synchronicity works as a catalyst toward the working out of that destiny.

Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.

A wound does not destroy us. It activates our self-healing powers. The point is not to "put it behind you" but to keep benefiting from the strength it has awakened.

Once we understand that what happens beyond our control may be just what we need, we see that acceptance of reality can be our way of participating in our own evolution.

Most people think of love as a feeling, but love is not so much a feeling as a way of being present.

Spirituality is the intersection of three paths: letting go of ego, an unconditional yes to the conditions of human existence, and an immeasurable compassion.

I see that mankind still survives after all its attempts to destroy itself and so I surmise that it is the law of love that rules mankind.

When we feel unsafe with someone and still stay with him, we damage our ability to discern trustworthiness in those we will meet in the future.

It is not that practice makes perfect but that practice is perfect, combining effort with an openness to grace.

There is nothing more majestic than the determined courage of individuals willing to suffer and sacrifice for their freedom and dignity.

Free your grudges and heal your wounds.

My partner and I are looking at several locations on Park Avenue South and Midtown for a new restaurant space.

We know we are sinners, it does not follow that we are saved.

The thirst for equality can express itself either as a desire to draw everyone down to one's level, or to raise oneself and everyone else up.

I do enjoy a beer. And a shot of vodka with some apple juice is what loosens me up before I go onstage, because I get really nervous. I wish I could say it was something more healthy, like Pilates.

I do not believe in old age. I do not believe in getting tired.

When things are shaky and nothing is working, we might realize that we are on the verge of something.

I’m ready to stop waging war and start washing feet.

We have to give ourselves a constitution which marks the birth of Europe as a political entity.
