Whenever you meet anybody, it is a holy encounter. The primary event is the energy field of presence between you and the other human being that arises. You enjoy it. There is deep joy in the meeting.

The past has no power over the present moment.

The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.

When you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life.

When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation or accept it, all else is madness.

Stop looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment, for validation, security, or love - you have a treasure within that is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer.

When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life.

In today's rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of just Being.

Observe your thoughts, don't believe them.

Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.

You are not separate from the whole. You are one with the sun, the earth, the air. You don’t have a life. You are life.

The opposite of depression isn't feeling happy but being fully alive, however painful

It's the whole not the detail that matters.

Still to the sufferer comes, as due from God, a glory that to suffering owes its birth.

I stay on terra firma: the more firm, the less terror.

People change over the years, and that changes situations, for good and for bad.

Being on stage a lot is quite physical.

We were on the cover of Women's Wear Daily, which was hardly rock 'n' roll, but it pleased me.

No matter how bad someone has it, there are others who have it worse. Remembering that makes life a lot easier and allows you to take pleasure in the blessings you have been given.

The measurement we get when we measure something is not a property of the thing measured.

I'm a whole new pitcher. I'm more comfortable with all of my pitches.
