Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.

True happiness is... to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.

The starting point of all achievement is desire.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

You forgive yourself for every failure because you are trying to do the right thing. God knows that and you know it. Nobody else may know it.

We must be willing to let go of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.
