Simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.

Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned.

What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family.

Happiness, not in another place, but this place ... not for another hour, but for this hour.

May you live every day of your life.

If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.

A smile gives brightness to the day.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.

Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything  - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free.

Do your work with your whole heart, and you will succeed.

There's no war that will end all wars.

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.

I really believe that everyone has a talent, ability, or skill that he can mine to support himself and to succeed in life.

Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.

It is my conviction that there is no way to peace. Peace is the way.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

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