You will either step forward into growth, or you will step backward into safety.

It isn't a sadness, but a joy, that we don't do the same things for the length of our lives.

It isn't just talent. You have to have something else. You have to have a kind of nerve.

Do not whine... Do not complain. Work harder. Spend more time alone.

In quietness the soul expands.

The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.

Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say.

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

Only one mountain can know the core of another mountain.

Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.

Some things are best mended by a break.
