May you live all the days of your life.

Let us affirm what seems to be the truth, that, whether one is or is not, one and the others in relation to themselves and one another, all of them, in every way, are and are not, and appear to be and appear not to be.

Words are a lens to focus one's mind.

My own art is a negation of society, an affirmation of the individual, outside all rules and demands of society.

The heart's earnest and pure desire is always fulfilled.

Learn to get in touch with silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.

Bless a thing and it will bless you. Curse it and it will curse you. . . If you bless a situation, it has no power to hurt you, and even if it is troublesome for a time, it will gradually fade out, if you sincerely bless it.

Count your blessings. You are one of a kind. There’s no one in the world like you. You are amazing.

I pray Heaven to bestow the best of the blessings on this house and all that shall hereafter inhabit it. May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof.

If I had to define life in a word, it would be: Life is creation.

Don’t make yourself miserable with what is to come or not to come.

One can only live while one is intoxicated with life; as soon as one is sober it is impossible not to see that it is all a mere fraud and a stupid fraud! That is precisely what it is: there is nothing either amusing or witty about it, it is simply cruel and stupid.

If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst forth at once in the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One.

The fewer the words, the better the prayer.

When the world pushes you to your knees, you’re in the perfect position to pray.

Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts.

If you have no time for prayer and meditation, you will have lots of time for sickness and trouble.
