A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the right person at the right time and at the right place, and when we expect nothing in return.
The more you see yourself as what you'd like to become, and act as if what you want is already there, the more you'll activate those dormant forces that will collaborate to transform your dream into your reality.
You cannot expect to live a positive life if you hang with negative people.
Those who flow as life flows know they need no other force.
In a day when you don’t come across any problems, you can be sure that you are traveling on the wrong path.
Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame.
If you don't have peace, it isn't because someone took it from you; you gave it away. You cannot always control what happens to you, but you can control what happens in you.
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.
If you go out looking for friends, you’re going to find they are very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you’ll find them everywhere.
There are no problems, only solutions.
Love is the pursuit of the whole.
If there is no solution to the problem then don’t waste time worrying about it. If there is a solution to the problem then don’t waste time worrying about it.
You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.
He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.
It would be better if there were nothing. Since there is more pain than pleasure on earth, every satisfaction is only transitory, creating new desires and new distresses, and the agony of the devoured animal is always far greater than the pleasure of the devourer.
I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
Be nice to everyone, always smile, and appreciate things because it could all be gone tomorrow.
If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
It is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others.
