God will not have his work made manifest by cowards.

Whatever I hold in my mind tends to manifest itself in my life. What we believe and assume creates most of our reality and our experience.

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will become too late.

All infractions of love and equity in our social relations are speedily punished--by fear…be honest with a man and you have no fear. Try to deceive and the relationship deteriorates.

AS to methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.

Fear always springs from ignorance.

For it is only the finite that has wrought and suffered; the infinite lies stretched in smiling repose.

Feelings, whether of compassion or irritation, should be welcomed, recognized, and treated on an absolutely equal basis; because both are ourselves. The tangerine I am eating is me. The mustard greens I am planting are me. I plant with all my heart and mind. I clean this teapot with the kind of attention I would have were I giving the baby Buddha or Jesus a bath. Nothing should be treated more carefully than anything else. In mindfulness, compassion, irritation, mustard green plant, and teapot are all sacred.

Wisdom is obtained by reading the mind of God.

We awaken in others the same attitude of mind we hold toward them.

If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything; it is open to everything.
