What I try to point out is the role an ordinary person can have in seeing the child's destiny. You have to have a feeling for the child.

All we can do when we think of kids today is think of more hours of school, earlier age at the computer, and curfews. Who would want to grow up in that world?

Anytime you’re gonna grow, you’re gonna lose something. You’re losing what you’re hanging onto to keep safe. You’re losing habits that you’re comfortable with, you’re losing familiarity.

Love alone is not enough. Without imagination, love stales into sentiment, duty, boredom. Relationships fail not because we have stopped loving but because we first stopped imagining.

We can't change anything until we get some fresh ideas, until we begin to see things differently.

Sooner or later something seems to call us onto a particular path... this is what I must do, this is what I've got to have. This is who I am.

It's important to ask yourself, How am I useful to others? What do people want from me? That may very well reveal what you are here for.

Just stop for a minute and you'll realize you're happy just being. I think it's the pursuit that screws up happiness. If we drop the pursuit, it's right here.

To see the angel in the malady requires an eye for the invisible, a certain blinding of one eye and an opening of the other to elsewhere.

Psychology, so dedicated to awakening human consciousness, needs to wake itself up to one of the most ancient human truths: we cannot be studied or cured apart from the planet.

Our life is psychological, and the purpose of life is to make psyche of it, to find connections between life and soul.

The past lies beneath the surface, intransigent truth. Remembered or not, what we say and do remains, always.

Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.

The difference between the reason of man and the instinct of the beast is this, that the beast does but know, but the man knows that he knows.

The team that makes the most mistakes usually wins, because doers make mistakes

My errors have been errors of calculation and judging men, not in appreciating the true nature of truth and ahimsa or in their application.

Listening is so basic that we take it for granted. Unfortunately, most of us think of ourselves as better listeners than we really are.

Remember the great adversity of art or anything else is a hurried life.

Leave the pain behind and let your life be your own again. There is a place where all time is now, and the choices are simple and always your own. Wolves have no kings

A handsome woman is a jewel; a good woman is a treasure.

People get very deep experiences and they think they're enlightened. That's not enlightenment, that's just some realization.
