He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.

I have always been grateful to Colonel Longley. He proved to me that when people in authority take a stand, good can come out of it.

The willingness and ability to live fully in the now eludes many people. While eating your appetizer, don’t be concerned with dessert.

A man should always consider how much he has more than he wants.

The best books… are those that tell you what you know already.

Take care to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get.

When you’re outside, and everything is highland, it’s like nature has its own sound, and that’s one of my favorite sounds. I really loved sitting still silently outside, in a tree or in a bush, to just think.

I was ill, and everyone could see it but me.

‚Thank you‘ is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.

When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time. Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs?

I have great respect for the past. If you don’t know where you’ve come from, you don’t know where you’re going. I have respect for the past, but I’m a person of the moment. I’m here, and I do my best to be completely centered at the place I’m at, then I go forward to the next place.

If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.

Everyone now knows how to find the meaning of life within himself. But mankind wasn’t always so lucky. Less than a century ago, men and women did not have easy access to the puzzle boxes within them.

If something can corrupt you, you’re corrupted already.

If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered.

I thank God I’m in a position where I can pick and choose – there are some roles I don’t play.

The question of sexual dominance can exist only in the nightmare of that soul which has armed itself, totally, against the possibility of the changing motion of conquest and surrender, which is love.

Always say ‚yes‘ to the present moment… Surrender to what is. Say ‚yes‘ to life – and see how life starts suddenly to start working for you rather than against you.

There is a road from the eye to heart that does not go through the intellect.

To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment.

If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn’t part of ourselves doesn’t disturb us.

You are important enough to ask and you are blessed enough to receive back.

Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.

So let’s be honest with ourselves and not take ourselves too serious, and never condemn the other fellow for doing what we are doing every day, only in a different way.

No one but a fool is always right.

Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.

I’ve never been reckless – it’s always calculated. I’m mischievous, but I’m calculated.

The world can criticize me, but l can always criticize it back.

The proper study of Mankind is Man.

Real happiness is cheap enough, yet how dearly we pay for its counterfeit.

Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy and serenity.

How far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without?

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.

You are the universe, you aren’t in the universe.

I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature.

Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants. Man’s happiness really lies in contentment.

He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.

The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us. Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.

The most common lie is that which one lies to himself; lying to others is relatively an exception.

I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.

The mind that is anxious about the future is miserable.

I hope that tomorrow we can all, wherever we are, join in expressing our grief at Diana’s loss, and gratitude for her all-too-short life. It is a chance to show to the whole world the British nation united in grief and respect.

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

It definitely has learning a lesson about the way you’re living your life. I wouldn’t compare our movie to that, but it has a structure where it’s about a man who doesn’t appreciate all that he has and finds out at the end that life has been great and he has to enjoy that.

I don’t have any oratory skills. But I would not use them if I had.

Money does not change people, people change.

It’s easy to forget who you are.

People look to time in expectation that it will eventually make them happy, but you cannot find true happiness by looking toward the future.

The truth is, I’ve never fooled anyone. I’ve let men sometimes fool themselves.

I don’t think a lot of people know personally who I am.

For a long time, I thought I was ugly and disfigured. This made me shy and timid, and I often reacted to insults that were not intended.

Enlightened people seldom or never possess a sense of responsibility.

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength.

When you’re in hell, you forget how great you really are because you’re suffering and you forget the great things you’ve done.

Catering to bad feelings feeds and empowers them.

I don’t do things for the response or for the controversy. I just live my life.

It is only in our decisions that we are important.

We are long before we are convinced that happiness is never to be found, and each believes it possessed by others, to keep alive the hope of obtaining it for himself.

I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great pope, Self.

To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition, the end to which every enterprise and labor tends, and of which every desire prompts the prosecution.
