“You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”

I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul.

The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness, with the universe and all its powers.

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.

If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace. If you let go completely, you will have complete peace.

Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.

I pluck chrysanthemums beneath the eastern hedge, and gaze at ease at the southern mountains.

Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see.
