Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.
Don’t be proud of what you know, and don’t be self-confident if you are learned. Be open to advice from the unlearned as well as from the learned. Art knows no limit, and the artists will never achieve perfection.
Men are just as sensitive, and in some ways more sensitive, than women are.
When you make a commitment to a relationship, you invest your attention and energy in it more profoundly because you now experience ownership of that relationship.
A wise word is more rare than the green emerald, and one can find the word of wisdom even amongst the slave girls making grain.
Silence has a regenerative power of its own. It is always sacred. It always returns you home.
Silence and solitude are confrontational. They plunge us instantly into the truth.
I have experienced a lifetime of real moments, and many of them were happy moments.
May all that is not love within us and without be healed. May all that is love within us and without us be revealed. May every day of our lives be lived in love.
Happiness is not an acquisition – it is a skill. We do not experience happiness because of what we get. We experience happiness because of how we live each moment.
Love is the magician of the universe. It creates everything out of nothing.
All addictions have one thing in common – they numb you out to what is happening in the moment.
If you let your mind talk you out of things that aren’t logical, you’re going to have a very boring life. Because grace isn’t logical. Love isn’t logical. Miracles aren’t logical.
If you don’t develop your skill at enjoying what you have, you won’t be any happier when you get more.
When I look for happiness, I lose it. When I stop looking, and surrender to where I am, I find it.
They’re basically moments in which you’re in touch with the meaning of life, when your relationship to the rest of the universe makes sense.
Passion begins where your bodies unite and ends where your souls dance. When your spirits can join together at the same time as your bodies become one, then all of you will be making love. There will be nothing left between you that is not love. This is sacred communion. This is ecstasy.
Temporary feelings of regret are a normal part of the mourning process. This helps us retrieve our lost dreams. If we hold on to regret, we risk trapping ourselves in a prison of unrealized dreams from which it is difficult to escape.
One of the most courageous things we do is change. If everyone says you’re wonderful every time you wear a red dress, and you change to yellow, that takes courage.
When you live with constant gratitude, your life will become a living prayer.
Love and kindness are never wasted.
