Each day provides its own gifts.

Live one day at a time emphasizing ethics rather than rules.

We have two ears and one tongue so that we would listen more and talk less.

There is such a thing as ‚thanks-feeling‘ – feeling thankful. This ought to be the general, universal spirit of the Christian.

Every day is a gift from God, no matter how old we are.

Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.

Breathe in deeply to bring your mind home to your body. Then look at, or think of, the person triggering this emotion: With mindfulness, you can see that she is unhappy, that she is suffering. You can see her wrong perceptions. You can see that she is not beautiful when she says things that are unkind.

Your daily life is your temple and your religion. When you enter into it take with you your all.

I can’t stress to you enough how much I can relate to teens being cyberbullied. Something that helps me is looking at old videos of me and my friends from middle school, or videos of my family. I love watching funny videos of my favorite people – it really cheers me up.

People don’t realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.

Some days I totally appreciate everything that’s happening to me, and some days I feel everyone’s waiting for me to mess up.

When you stop caring what people think, you lose your capacity for connection. When you’re defined by it, you lose our capacity for vulnerability.

Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.

Never find fault with the absent.

I’m just glad to be feeling better. I really thought I’d be seeing Elvis soon.

The world we see that seems so insane is the result of a belief system that is not working. To perceive the world differently, we must be willing to change our belief system, let the past slip away, expand our sense of now, and dissolve the fear in our minds.

For the people who ostensibly wish me well or are worried about my immortal soul, I say I take it kindly.

Understand, when you eat meat, that something did die. You have an obligation to value it – not just the sirloin but also all those wonderful tough little bits.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.

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

Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise.

I’m trying to keep a level head. You have to be careful out in the world. It’s so easy to get turned.

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

I have to be on such a strict diet constantly.

Mindfulness helps you go home to the present. And every time you go there and recognize a condition of happiness that you have, happiness comes.

We’ve fallen into a trap of ever-widening orbits of contact, and there is a total disregard for the present moment.

The happiest part of a man’s life is what he passes lying awake in bed in the morning.

Little things affect little minds.

Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.

Everything’s intentional. It’s just filling in the dots.

When you focus on how wonderful God is and all the great things He’s done… is doing… and even will do in your life, your natural response will be praise, adoration and awe. Don’t let yourself ever get used to it… stay amazed!

What money is better bestowed than that of a schoolboy’s tip? How the kindness is recalled by the recipient in after days! It blesses him that gives and him that takes.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

Engage your brain before you engage your weapon.

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.

All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking.

Die to everything of yesterday so that your mind is always fresh, always young, innocent, full of vigor and passion.

The only thing you ever have is now.

As a cure for worrying, work is better than whiskey.

Expecting is the greatest impediment to living. In anticipation of tomorrow, it loses today.

One of the things I realized is that if you do not take control over your time and your life, other people will gobble it up. If you don’t prioritize yourself, you constantly start falling lower and lower on your list, your kids fall lower and lower on your list.

We can’t just continue living as if there was no tomorrow, because there is a tomorrow.

Energy begets energy.

As you know, I’m an immigrant. I came over here as an immigrant, and what gave me the opportunities, what made me to be here today, is the open arms of Americans. I have been received. I have been adopted by America.

I don’t have many sad days.

The child in you, like all children, loves to laugh, to be around people who can laugh at themselves and life. Children instinctively know that the more laughter we have in our lives, the better.

When I feel I’m doing too much, I do less if I can.

I always have an optimistic view, no matter what it is.

I’ve been very fortunate.

Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.

If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it.

Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.

He that has done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.

I believe God, Jesus, died that we not just go to Heaven but that we excel in this life. I never think you make money your goal… God wants you to excel. Just keep Him in first place, and God will open up doors you never dreamed of.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

We think too much and feel too little.

Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day.

You might be tough, but you can only be so tough for so long, you know what I mean? The brain can only take so much damage. The body can only take so much damage.

I’ve been blessed in that regard through and through. So I’m just thankful for this opportunity to play the game that I love and share that with the world.

If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough.

With mindfulness, you can establish yourself in the present in order to touch the wonders of life that are available in that moment.
