We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.
We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world.
So live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now!
Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.
As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.
If you are not in the process of becoming the person you want to be, you are automatically engaged in becoming the person you don’t want to be.
Not being tense but ready. Not thinking but not dreaming. Not being set but flexible. Liberation from the uneasy sense of confinement. It is being wholly and quietly alive, aware and alert, ready for whatever may come.
Only God knows how much I love you.
Live everyday as if it were your last because someday you’re going to be right.
Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you should set up a life you don’t need to escape from.
When you are finished changing, you're finished.
Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose – and commit myself to – what is best for me.
The way to do is to be.
Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness.
If a man is to live, he must be all alive, body, soul, mind, heart, spirit.
We are asleep until we fall in love.
Life has many ways of testing a person’s will, either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen all at once.
One cannot be prepared for something while secretly believing it will not happen.
You have everything you need for complete peace and total happiness right now.
If a writer falls in love with you, you can never die.
