They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

You can’t change how people treat you or what they say about you. All you can do is change how you react to it.

Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If all people all over the world would do this, it would change the earth.

I have to face life with a newly found passion. I must rediscover the irresistible will to learn, to live and to love.

The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind.

A great man is hard on himself; a small man is hard on others.

At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.

You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.

Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.

If you can allow yourself to trust those little movements round your gut that tell you when something is interesting or exciting, they will tell you where to go.

Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn’t have the power to say yes.

No one can draw more out of things, books included, than he already knows. A man has no ears for that to which experience has given him no access.

One who is serious all day will never have a good time, while one who is frivolous all day will never establish a household.

There is only one time that is important—now! It is the most important time because it is the only time when we have any power.

The past is memory. The future is imagination. All that exists is now.

The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.

Either you run the day, or the day runs you.

With time and patience the mulberry leaf becomes a silk gown.

Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever.
