A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.

I can't give you a recipe for success, but I can give you a recipe for failure: try to please everybody.

There will always be someone who can't see your worth. Don't let it be you.

Attention is a moral act: It creates, brings aspects of things into being.

Everything that truly makes us happy is quite simple: love, sex, and food!

If you need something from somebody, always give that person a way to hand it to you.

My turn shall also come: I sense the spreading of a wing.

You must not try to make love definite. It is the divine accident of life.

You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people, if you don't serve the people.

The world is like a Mask dancing. If you want to see it well, you do not stand in one place.

In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth.

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