I’m always attracted to people who interest me. They’ve got to be people who are really true to themselves somehow, and who are always trying to do something that makes their life more interesting, or better, or something for somebody else. They’re interested in people.

I’m the kind of person who needs to feel like everything happens for a reason. When you date a guy and it goes badly, that’s horrible. But if you can write a song about it, then it was worth it.

You don’t look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.

Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.

The questions which one asks oneself begin, at least, to illuminate the world, and become one’s key to the experience of others.

No one is laughable who laughs at himself.

The best part about being in your thirties is you know what works for you.

The world would be happier if men had the same capacity to be silent that they have to speak.

No one should be ashamed to admit he is wrong, which is but saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.

It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things.

You are the sum total of everything you’ve ever seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot – it’s all there. Everything influences each of us, and because of that I try to make sure that my experiences are positive.

Doubt in my tradition is something that is very helpful. Because of doubt, you can thirst more and you will get a higher kind of proof.

I am absolutely my own biggest critic.

Learn to think continentally.

Imperfection clings to a person, and if they wait till they are brushed off entirely, they would spin for ever on their axis, advancing nowhere.

The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.

The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.

The fact is that since you’re a divine creation who originated in the world of Spirit, you have exactly the right amount of smarts to accomplish all that you need and want to do while you’re here on earth. It’s all perfect… and so are you!

To be angry is to revenge the faults of others on ourselves.

I’m perpetually lonely.

Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.

I’m inconsistent, even to myself.

You either make dust or eat dust.

Sometimes you need faith and victory spoken over your life. Words have created power. When you receive them into your spirit, they can ignite seeds of increase on the inside.

We all self-conscious. I’m just the first to admit it.

Most people treat the present moment as if it were an obstacle that they need to overcome. Since the present moment is life itself, it is an insane way to live.

You have to be able to accept failure to get better.

In the dim background of mind we know what we ought to be doing but somehow we cannot start.

There’s an inherent danger in letting people think that they have perfected something. When they believe they’ve ‚nailed it,‘ most people tend to sit back and rest on their laurels while countless others will be labouring furiously to better their work!

A belief is purely an individual matter, and you cannot and must not organize it. If you do, it becomes dead, crystallized; it becomes a creed, a sect, a religion, to be imposed on others.

I always put myself out there. I’m not afraid to commit to something.

Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.

You are only afraid if you are not in harmony with yourself. People are afraid because they have never owned up to themselves.

Everybody wants to be somebody; nobody wants to grow.

It’s really hard to guarantee things in life. I guarantee if you get up in the morning and you work out, and you work hard, you will have a better day – 100% guaranteed.

Apply yourself both now and in the next life. Without effort, you cannot be prosperous. Though the land be good, You cannot have an abundant crop without cultivation.

I don’t want to be something that just comes and goes.

If I get stuck, I look at a book that tells me how someone else did it. I turn the pages, and then I say, ‚Oh, I forgot that bit,‘ then close the book and carry on. Finally, after you’ve figured out how to do it, you read how they did it and find out how dumb your solution is and how much more clever and efficient theirs is!

Thoughts are mental energy; they’re the currency that you have to attract what you desire. Learn to stop spending that currency on thoughts you don’t want.

Confidence comes from discipline and training.

People often think I’m a faker, but I’m usually honest, in a certain way – in such a way that often nobody believes me!

Money does not change people, people change.

Success is like reaching an important birthday and finding you’re exactly the same.

I think the best thing I ever did with my life was stand up and say I’ve got Alzheimer’s.

Old is authentic. Old is genuine. Old is valuable.

When you realize who you live for, and who’s important to please, a lot of people will actually start living. I am never going to get caught up in that. I’m gonna look back on my life and say that I enjoyed it – and I lived it for me.

Spending time with God through prayer and His Word is a prerequisite for having a great life and fulfilling your purpose.

I just do the best I can and write something interesting, to tell stories in an interesting way and move forward from there.

I was never focused on me, me, me all the time. I was always focused on somebody else.

I feel like people can relate to me because we all go through wins and roadblocks and passion and pain, and it’s a vibe.

The learning and knowledge that we have, is, at the most, but little compared with that of which we are ignorant.

We are not animals. We are not a product of what has happened to us in our past. We have the power of choice.

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

If you keep proving stuff that others have done, getting confidence, increasing the complexities of your solutions – for the fun of it – then one day you’ll turn around and discover that nobody actually did that one!

Send forth the child and childish man together, and blush for the pride that libels our own old happy state, and gives its title to an ugly and distorted image.

My mother did not like children.

Conscious of not being able to separate myself from my time, I have decided to become part of it.

My dad seemed comfortable with his decision to be a ‚have-not,‘ but I knew that I wasn’t.

I’m crazy and I don’t pretend to be anything else.

If you have an enemy, then learn and know your enemy, don’t just be mad at him or her.

We boil at different degrees.
