"Your mind is a powerful thing. When you filter it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change."
"But if you miss it, you will next be confronted with the angry deities, ... threatening you and barring your passage ... because you turned a deaf ear to the saving truths of religion. All these forms are strange to you, ... they terrify you, ... and yet it is you who have created them. Do not give in to your fright, ... flee them not! They are but ... the contents of your own mind... If at this point you should manage to understand that, ... and you will find yourself in a paradise among the angels."

"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
"Sometimes it's better to be kind than to be right. We do not need an intelligent mind that speaks, but a patient heart that listens. You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger"
"The way to happiness is: keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, give much. Fill your life with love. Do as you would be done by."
"Since everything is a reflection of our minds, everything can be changed by our minds."
"Change is never painful, only the resistance to change is painful"
