Nothing can harm you as much as your own thoughts unguarded.
Wisdom is knowing I am nothing, Love is knowing I am everything, and between the two my life moves.
What would you do if you weren’t afraid?
A bad day for your ego is a great day for your soul.
If we are growing, we are always going to be outside our comfort zone.
We can ignore even pleasure. But pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
If you focus on success, you’ll have stress. But if you pursue excellence, success will be guaranteed.
Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.
Focus on making yourself better, not on thinking that you are better.
Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.
If your plan is for one year plant rice. If your plan is for ten years plant trees. If your plan is for one hundred years educate children.
Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.
Those who flow as life flows know they need no other force.
Be here now.
Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
You’ll never reach perfection because there’s always room for improvement. Yet, along the way to perfection, you’ll learn to get better.
My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground on which I stand.
Don’t go through life; grow through life.
If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.
Whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it’s because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It’s your mission on earth.
