If we amplify everything, we hear nothing.

The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.

Any transition serious enough to alter your definition of self will require not just small adjustments in your way of living and thinking but a full-on metamorphosis.

Being able to self-activate positive experiences -- to call up inner strengths at will -- is fundamental to coping, well-being, and everyday effectiveness. With practice, these experiences and strengths will increasingly activate on their own.

It is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others.

As life becomes harder and more threatening, it also becomes richer, because the fewer expectations we have, the more the good things of life become unexpected gifts that we accept with gratitude.

We must embrace more holy envy and less unholy ignorance.

Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it. If you would help to calm the tumult, this is one of the strongest things you can do.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
