Everything that happens is God's will. When you realize that, you're home free.

Last night I played a blank tape at full blast. The mime next door went nuts.

Since the past is unreal and the future is unreal, all your thoughts are about nothing.

Nothing belongs to me. Everything comes and goes. Serenity is an open door.

We never make a decision. When the time is right, the decision makes itself.

When we question our thoughts, we see that the craziness was never in the world, but in us.

The world is what you believe it to be, and it changes as you change.

When you realize that every stressful moment you experience is a gift that points you to your own freedom, life becomes very kind.

Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you.

Happiness is the natural state for someone who knows that there's nothing to know.

When you become a lover of what is, the war is over.

No one has ever been angry at another human being-we’re only angry at our story of them.

Nothing comes ahead of its time, and nothing ever happened that didn't need to happen.

Pay close attention to the particular thoughts you use to deprive yourself of happiness.

If I had a prayer, it would be this: "God, spare me from the desire for love, approval, or appreciation. Amen."

When you think that someone or something other than yourself needs to change, you're mentally out of your business.

Bottom line is, if someone says something about me and it upsets me, it's true.

It's not what happens in life that bothers us. It's what we're believing about it that bothers us.

Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation-from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.
