  Thought is Cause; experience is Effect.  If you don't like the effects in your life, you have to change the nature of your thinking.

  Don't start tackling tomorrow's problems until tomorrow.  You don't have tomorrow's strength yet.  You simply have enough for today.

"The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls."

e.c. stanton

  Be fully present with your friends, family, and co-workers.  Nobody wants to talk to someone who's mentally practicing for the future while pretending to listen.

Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.

Happiness is not something ready made.  It comes from your own actions.

If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.

The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis.

Be kind whenever possible. 

Open your arms to change, but don;t let go of your values.

Sleep is the best medicine.

Spend some time alone each day.

We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.

  We have the power to affect the attitudes and behavior of the people around us, at work and at home.  We have the power to set a tone of honor, to create an energy around ourselves that says, "I respect myself.  I respect you.  Let's respect each other."

  If you think the worst and get the worst, you suffer twice.  If you think the best and get the worst, you only suffer once.

  Remember that there's a limit to how much baggage you may carry on a plane, and the same rule should apply throughout life.

  Get rid of the suitcases filled with old anger and resentment.  You'll look better, feel lighter, and you'll have much more room in your life suitcases.

  What has happened is not nearly as important as what can happen.  Look to the possibilities of your future for direction, forsaking the burdensome limitations of your past.

  I fill myself with love, and I send that out into the world.  How others treat me is their path; how I react is mine.

  The more you understand yourself as a human being, the more you realize that you can either flow with Life or fight it.  And every time you fight something, you get weaker.
