When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.

Listen to the women when she looks at you, not when she talks to you.

How often have you sailed in my dreams. And now you come in my awakening, which is my deeper dream.

I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy. I woke and I saw that life is all service. I served and I saw that service is joy.

You are far, far greater than you know - and all is well.

Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky.

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

There must be something strangely sacred about salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.

If I accept the sunshine and warmth, then I must also accept the thunder and lightning.

Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.

A traveller I am, and a navigator, and everyday I discover a new region within my soul.

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

Your joy can fill you only as deeply as your sorrow has carved you.

The universe is my country and the human family is my tribe.

A thief is a man in need. A liar is a man in fear.

You cannot judge any man beyond your knowledge of him, and how small is your knowledge.

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
