When we meet real tragedy in life, we can react in two ways--either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits, or by using the challenge to find our inner strength.

People do not seem to realise that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.

We need much less than we think we need.

Life is not always perfect. Like a road, it has many bends, ups and down, but that’s its beauty.

Do not let the memories of your past limit the potential of your future. There are no limits to what you can achieve on your journey through life, except in your mind.

Awareness is the greatest agent for change.

Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.

Nothing can dim the light which shines from within.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery.

None but ourselves can free our minds.

Never lose hope. Storms make people stronger and never last forever.

You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.

Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

You are not stuck where you are unless you decide to be.

Humor is often stronger and more effective than sharpness in cutting knotty issues.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.

Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking.

Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice.

And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

Conflict cannot survive without your participation.

Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it;  and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.

Respect yourself and others will respect you.
