"Your mind is a powerful thing. When you filter it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change."
"Greater in battle than the man who would conquer a thousand-thousand men, is he who would conquer just one — himself. Better to conquer yourself than others. When you've trained yourself, living in constant self-control, neither a deva nor gandhabba, nor a Mara banded with Brahmas, could turn that triumph back into defeat."

"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"
