You don't have to feel bad to act kindly. Love doesn't stand by, it moves with the speed of clarity.

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.

Now we’re guests in a faraway land nearly 40 years on. No trees, no cool breeze, no best friends. Only endless days spent in sending SMSs...

A smile becomes you or perhaps you become you when you smile.

Recession is when a neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours.

One of the marks of a truly great mind, I had discovered, is the ability to feign stupidity on demand.

I have often wondered who was the first person to realize that eating an artichoke was a good idea.

Complete freedom from stress is death

Aren't rumors great. Anyone can start them. They're a wonderful way to put out feelers. It's like getting the benefits of a publicist without paying one.

When you don't have anything, then you have everything.

Consider the misfortunes of others, and you will be the better able to bear your own.

Any experience can be transformed into something of value. [ - worthy of enjoying by knowing it could have been worse.]
