Take me away from my sense. I need to go away now, because I'm in chaos - take me down deep. Hover over me, because I need grace. I say that a lot, many times a day.

The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind

Just let go. Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work its way into your consciousness.

When you do not seek or need approval, you are at your most powerful.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.

By far the strongest poison to the human spirit is the inability to forgive oneself or another person. Forgiveness is no longer an option but a necessity for healing.

Never blame another person for your personal choices - you are still the one who must live out the consequences of your choices.

You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional hope that you'll get to tomorrow. Intention without action is useless.

There is no such thing as a simple act of compassion or an inconsequential act of service. Everything we do for another person has infinite consequences.

Being of service is not an option, it is a biological necessity. Every kind of action we do for someone is a reanimation of our own life force - and of the other person's.

There is no before. There is only now, and what comes next.

There are many problems, but I think there is a solution to all these problems, it's just one and it's education. You educate all the girls and boys. You give them the opportunity to learn.

It's hard to imagine, but we cant think of HIV/AIDS as being somebody else's story. It could be any of ours.

Every fighter should really do that if they can, because if you build a fan base at home first, then once they receive you at home, it'll be easier to be received elsewhere.

When you become famous you get to torture a higher class of man than before.
