What is perfect health? The unraveling of all imagined states of mind

Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do.

Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation-from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.

Our job is unconditional love. The job of everyone else in our life is to push our buttons.

Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you're attached to something not true for you.

Peace doesn't require two people; it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.

Fear has only two causes: the thought of losing what you have or the thought of not getting what you want.

Pay close attention to the particular thoughts you use to deprive yourself of happiness.

If you want real control, drop the illusion of control; let life have you. It does anyway. You’re just telling yourself the story of how it doesn’t.

It's not your job to like me - it's mine

It's not the problem that causes our suffering; it's our thinking about the problem.

Deliberately to pursue happiness is not the surest way of achieving it. Seek it for its own sake and I doubt whether you will find it.

I have never been able to see myself as fitting into one category, and I have never been able to limit my contact with people to one group of people.

The only thing I can really offer the Filipino people is my sincerity.

I love my music and recording people.

Between loving friends there need be no secrets . . . the trusting heart is always safe with another who truly cares.

Transform our way of perceiving things, we transform the quality of our lives.

It isn't easy to understand the lives of people different from your own.

My love is unconditional. Your action is irrelevant.

Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth cannot be sacrificed for anything.

Art is not the handmaid of politics. It is its own remedy! And its healing is sacral.
