Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.

Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.

My only advice is to stay aware, listen carefully, and yell for help if you need it.

You are what you love, not what loves you.

And now let us believe in a long year that is given to us, new, untouched, full of things that have never been.

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

The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

In the depths of Winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.

When you run into something interesting, drop everything else and study it.

Only the ephemeral is of lasting value.

I change myself, I change the world.

If one has no sense of humor, one is in trouble.
