You change the rules or you are going under.

The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind

Just let go. Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work its way into your consciousness.

When you do not seek or need approval, you are at your most powerful.

Grant me the grace to dissolve my negative thoughts about myself today. I breathe the grace of kindness into my heart. And may the grace of healing flow abundantly to every one in need of help.

Never blame another person for your personal choices - you are still the one who must live out the consequences of your choices.

There is no such thing as a simple act of compassion or an inconsequential act of service. Everything we do for another person has infinite consequences.

Being of service is not an option, it is a biological necessity. Every kind of action we do for someone is a reanimation of our own life force - and of the other person's.

The Christian shoemaker does his duty not by putting little crosses on the shoes, but by making good shoes, because God is interested in good craftsmanship.

The beauty of literature - also its limit - is that it is inescapably personal, even if you're writing science fiction.

Some people find oil. Others don't.

The future is sooner and stranger than you think.

When a government official says a problem has been "contained," pay no attention.

Grief, no matter where it comes from, can only be resolved by connecting to other people.

Wealth, taste and leisure can bring many things but they do not bring happiness.

The inequality between the world's individuals is staggering.
