The art of life is to live in the present moment

Whenever you are afraid of something you are worshipping it. Whatever you fear, you bow down to and give it power.

You must not allow yourself to dwell for a single moment on any kind of negative thought.

The story of your life is really the story of the relations between yourself and God.

It is the food which you furnish to your mind that determines the whole character of your life.

Most people who have a problem concentrate on the problem. They take it to bed with them and stay awake all night thinking it over. Let go of that problem. Rise above it in consciousness.

You must not under any pretense allow your mind to dwell on any thought that is not positive, constructive, optimistic, kind.

Claim your divine, glorious selfhood. Think it, talk it, live it and it will demonstrate itself in your life.

God holds us in the untamed moments too.

When we see a hero, on the one hand, we applaud them; on the other hand, there is something in a lot of people that wants to tear the hero down.

Only he who knows God is truly moral.

The only thing which can keep journalism alive - journalism, which is born of the moment, serves the moment, and, as a rule, dies with the moment - is - again the Stevensonian secret! - charm.

Without respect, the subtle alchemy that binds an organization or that serves as the impetus for a business transaction would dissolve into mutual suspicion and hostility.

I think that most people who write about music just want to fill some paper. They're not really interested in getting to the heart of something. Otherwise, they wouldn't write what they write.
