Do not pray for an easy life; pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.

It isn't just talent. You have to have something else. You have to have a kind of nerve.

You have to fail in order to practice being brave.

Success is the process itself.

Often when you think you’re at the end of something, you’re at the beginning of something else.

Maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but rather what we're capable of when we least expect it.

Attention is a moral act: It creates, brings aspects of things into being.

It isn't a sadness, but a joy, that we don't do the same things for the length of our lives.

The world is like a Mask dancing. If you want to see it well, you do not stand in one place.

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

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