We can acquire as much knowledge as we would like with a few taps on our keyboard. That's extremely valuable, but wisdom comes again from some different dimension.

The heart, like the grape, is prone to delivering its harvest in the same moment it appears to be crushed.

The body is the doorway to the timeless, because the body is always where we are and always in the present moment.

Be willing to be where you actually are. In my experience, that is the most inherently meaningful experience you can have.

If you allow yourself to fully feel the life you're in - not conceptually, but viscerally in the present moment - then that is inherently meaningful.

Love, like everything else, exists in a spectrum. Love of another, love of the world, love of God, all these loves are really one love in different degrees of light and density.

When the heart opens, we forget ourselves and the world pours in: this world, and also the invisible world of meaning that sustains everything that was and ever shall be.

We have all had serendipitous moments - the most unlikely meetings out of nowhere - that can happen when we have this quality of deep acceptance towards ourselves.

Day by day, tiny specks of us float away.

To keep faith with life is to experience that everything- everything that comes to us whatever it is- has its place in the puzzle of our existence.

I certainly spent many years in my early life chasing all over the globe for meaning and purpose. I'd feel like I'd found it, then it would fade away again.

It is reasonable to reason with God because when you only rely on human reasoning, you will be diverted from your purpose.

Love is thicker than blood

I won't be protected. I will choose for myself what is ladylike and right. To shield me is an insult.

Don't be afraid or too arrogant to surround yourself with people who are doing much better than you, because they could definitely push and stretch you to discover your hidden abilities in life.

Be aware of "yes" men. Generally, they are losers. Surround yourself with winners. Never forget - people win.

apartheid still hangs in the air like a poisonous cloud left over from chemical warfare.

You have a small period of time when you can perfect your career and become good at it. A lot of guys get distracted, which only hurts them. You must stay focused and work very hard at boxing.

If you knowingly and willingly embark on criminal behaviour, the consequences of that should be... that you lose some of your benefits under the current system

Sci-fi has never really been my bag. But I do believe in a lot of weird things these days, such as synchronicity. Quantum physics suggests it's possible, so why not?

Since all people are in the image of God, all deserve to be treated with the dignity the image affords.
