If you are not in the state of either acceptance, enjoyment, or enthusiasm, look closely and you will find that you are creating suffering for yourself and others.
Surrender is the inner transition from resistance to acceptance, from no to yes.
Presence is a state of inner spaciousness.
Peace is our gift to each other.
It is our attitude toward events, not events themselves, which we can control. Nothing is by its own nature calamitous – even death is terrible only if we fear it.
In times of stress, the best thing we can do for each other is to listen with our ears and our hearts and to be assured that our questions are just as important as our answers.
If we don’t end war, war will end us.
Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.
Within you there is a stillness and sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.
There is no reality except the one contained within us.
There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people.

I will be calm. I will be mistress of myself.
Peace in your mind, peace on earth, peace at work, peace at home, peace in the world.

Harboring unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping your enemy will die.
Pray about everything and worry about nothing. You will enjoy life much more.
You don’t need to know what tomorrow holds; all you need to know is the One who holds tomorrow.
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts; And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.
Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.
