The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.

Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.

There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.

Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.

We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest.

It is like the seed put in the soil - the more one sows, the greater the harvest.

Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.

Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes - every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man.

The Creator has not given you a longing to do that which you have no ability to do.

In appearance, the worldly life looks attractive, but once you enter into it, you can never become free.

There are many ways your intuition can get a message to you. You will start to pick them up once you learn to quiet the mental chatter.

It costs a lot to sue a magazine, and it's too bad that we don't have a system where the losing team has to pay the winning team's lawyers.

I'm quite fond of the writer who told a beginning author, "If you've got a message, use Western Union."

Practice the healing power of the compassionate mind.

Ordinary life bypassed me, but I also bypassed it. It couldn't have been any other way.Conventional life and conventional people are not for me.

I respect the Bible and offer namaz regularly. But I am ritualistic only up to a certain extent. I believe only in those rituals that I can understand and connect with, and conduct them my own way.

I don't have much time for shopping so I pick things up when I can. My favorite labels are APC, Isabel Marant and Agnes B because the clothes are cut small and have a simplicity to them.

i am... absolutely destroyed at the loss. (--manny)

Bush is the face on the can. But who canned that soup?
