The best person I can get to know is myself.

Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases. Each of us carries his own life-form—an indeterminable form which cannot be superseded by any other.

The whole universe is contained within a single human being—you.

Nothing is more precious than being in the present moment. Fully alive, fully aware.

He who has so little knowledge of human natures as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts.

Two of the hardest tests in life: The patience to wait for the right moment and the courage to accept whatever you encounter.

Almost every significant breakthrough is the result of a courageous break with traditional ways of thinking.

The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.

The true profession of a man is to find his way to himself.

You cannot have a proud and chivalrous spirit if your conduct is mean and paltry; for whatever a man’s actions are, such must be his spirit.

All limitations are self-imposed.

The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands.

He that complies against his will is of his own opinion still.

You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, buy you will never imprison my mind.

At the center of your being you are the answer. You know who you are, and you know what you want.

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

Peaces comes from within. Do not seek it without.

It doesn't matter how smart you are unless you stop and think.

When there is silence one finds the anchor of the universe within oneself.
