Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid.

Irrational terror is so hard to deal with.

Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent." -Kahlan

“In ease of body and peace of mind, all the different ranks of life are nearly upon the same level, and the beggar who suns himself by the highway, possesses that security which kings are fighting for.”

When you own your breath, nobody can steal your peace.

Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.

There is no 'way to peace,' there is only 'peace.

I'm at peace with myself. The main thing is not letting people dictate what I do or what I am.

The former breathes only peace and liberty; he desires only to live and be free from labor; even the ataraxia of the Stoic falls far short of his profound indifference to every other object.

"We've climbed the mighty mountain. I see the valley below, and it's a valley of peace."

"The non-violent technique does not depend for its success on the goodwill of the oppressor, but rather on the unfailing assistance of God."

"The basis for peace is respecting all creatures."

"In his face there came to be a brooding peace that is seen most often in the faces of the very sorrowful or the very wise. But still he wandered through the streets of the town, always silent and alone."

"Beauty [is] a kind of radiance. People who possess a true inner beauty, their eyes are a little brighter, their skin a little more dewy. They vibrate at a different frequency."

"TM® is helping you tap into something that's already inside of you - that's you in essence."

I think to have peace of mind, you have to have peace of body, first.

If you try to micromanage yourself all you’re going to do is make yourself miserable.

I’m not a busy person and I’m not busy because I refuse to schedule things.

It’s a bad habit that we develop that we forget how to appreciate what we do have.

I need 4-5 hours of time by myself every day doing nothing. Because if I don’t have that time, I won’t be able to do anything. 

To live in the present moment is the highest calling. It’s the source of all happiness.

The fact that you can listen to this podcast on an iPhone or whatever you’re listening to it on mans you’re already better off than a lot of people.

You should realize that this is such a short and precious life that it’s really important that you don’t spend it being unhappy. There’s no excuse for spending most of your life in misery. You’ve only got 70 years out of the 50 billion or so that the universe is going to be around.

On how to deal with anxiety: I remember that I’m going to die — memento mori, as they say. It’s hard, though. Anxiety is the human condition. It’s probably the single most pervasive emotion. I don’t think people understand how deep anxiety runs. If I conquered anxiety, I’d be the Buddha; so would you if you conquered anxiety.
