Life is balance of holding on and letting go.

Move, but don’t move the way fear makes you move.

Listen to the sound of waves within you.

Do not worry if all the candles in the world flicker and die. We have the spark that starts the fire.

If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?

In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils. And carry you a thousand steps toward your goal.

You are not meant for crawling, so don’t. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.

If all you can do is crawl, start crawling.

Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.

Everything about yesterday has gone with yesterday. Today, it is needed to say new things.

When you lose all sense of self, the bonds of a thousand chains will vanish.

To me nothing in the world is as precious as a genuine smile, especially from a child.

Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it.

Love sometimes wants to do us a great favor: hold us upside down and shake all the nonsense out.

What will our children do in the morning if they do not see us fly?

Seek the sound that never ceases. Seek the sun that never sets.

Open your hands if you want to be held.

Every need brings what’s needed. Pain bears its cure like a child. Having nothing produces provisions. Ask a difficult question, and the marvelous answer appears.

Concentrate on the Essence, concentrate on the light.

When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.

You are not one you are a thousand. Just light your lantern.

Whether one moves slowly or with speed, the one who is a seeker will be a finder.

When I am silent, I fall into the place where everything is music.

Grace comes to forgive and then forgive again.
