“You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.”

When we are mindful, deeply in touch with the present moment, our understanding of what is going on deepens.

You will find rest from vain fancies if you perform every act in life as though it were your last.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

The most difficult times for many of us are the ones we give ourselves.

Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

Your reputation is in the hands of others. That's what the reputation is. You can't control that. The only thing you can control is your character.
