“If you aim at nothing, you become plagued by everything.”

“You can use your idealism to further your aims, if you realize that nothing is Nirvana, nothing is perfect.”

“Judge nothing, you will be happy. Forgive everything, you will be happier. Love everything, you will be happiest.”

“The mind is everything. What you think you become.”

“Nothing is so catching as the plague; now, fanaticism, no matter of what nature, is only the plague of the human mind.”

“I know that you have nothing. That is why I ask you for everything. So that you will have everything.”

“You become a writer because you need to become a writer - nothing else.”

“Everything you look at can become a fairy tale and you can get a story from everything you touch.”

“If your destination, or the steps you are going to take in the future, take up so much of your attention that they become more important to you than the step you are taking now, then you completely miss the journey’s inner purpose, which has nothing to do with where you are going or what you are doing, but everything to do with how. It has nothing to do with future but everything to do with the quality of your consciousness at this moment.”

“Begin where you are and such as you are, without aiming mainly to become of more worth, and with kindness aforethought, go about doing good.”
