Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people, if you don't serve the people.

The ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have.

Love comes… when you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.

The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.

Joy is not in things, it is in us.

The quality of your life depends quite a bit on the quality of attention you project out onto the world.

Learning never exhausts the mind.

Open to whatever you experience without fighting. Let it be present just as it is. Let go of the battle.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

Don't surrender all your joy for an idea you used to have about yourself that isn't true anymore.

Forgiveness … is a gift of high value. Yet its cost is nothing.
