To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have.

There maybe a wasted time, wasted food, wasted water; but no prayer is ever wasted. God hears each single drop of it.

Do not sit long with a sad friend. When you go to a garden do you look at the weeds? Spend more time with the roses and jasmines.

Everyone and everything around you is your teacher.

No one that ever lived has ever had enough power, prestige, or knowledge to overcome the basic condition of all life -- you win some and you lose some.

I have everything I need to enjoy my here and now -- unless I am letting my consciousness be dominated by demands and expectations based on the dead past or the imagined future.
