Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.

In any moment of decision,

the best thing you can do is the right thing,

the next best thing is the wrong thing,

and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

When words are both true and kind they can change the world.

Thinking is difficult.

That's why most people judge.

Oh soul you worry too much.
You have seen your own strength.
You have seen your own beauty.
You have seen your golden wings.
Why do you worry?

Humility is not thinking less of yourself,

A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.

Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.

This is my simple religion.

No need for temples.

No need for complicated philosophy.

Your own mind, your own heart is the temple.

Your philosophy is simple kindness.

One day you will wake up and there won't be an more time to do the things you've always wanted.

Do it now.

Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.

If you can change your mind,
you can change your life.

He who seeks to be rich will not be benevolent.

He who wishes to be benevolent wil not be rich.
