A man is literally what he thinks.
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.
Thought can be so seductive and hypnotic that it absorbs your attention totally, so you become your thoughts.
My meditation is simple. It does not require any complex practices. It is simple. It is singing. It is dancing. It is sitting silently.
Men build too many walls and not enough bridges.
Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later, the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.
Criticize the act, not the person.
The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.
I dream. Sometimes I think that's the only right thing to do.
I mistrust the judgement of every man in a case in which his own wishes are concerned.
Good means not merely not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.

You want a love which is born out of meditation, not born out of the mind.
It takes a great man to be a good listener.
There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths.
The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.
Drop the idea that you are Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. The world would go on even without you. Don't take yourself so seriously.
What's real and what's true aren't necessarily the same.
I've never known any trouble than an hour's reading didn't assuage.
