In three words I can sum up everything Ive learned about life: it goes on.

Never ignore a gut feeling, but never believe that it's enough.

The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands.

Peace is not something you wish for. It's something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away.

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.

The reason most goals are not achieved is that we spend our time doing second things first.

If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience.

There is no duty we so underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world.

Don't think of it as failure. Think of it as time-released success.

Intuition is the supra-logic that cuts out all the routine processes of thought and leaps straight from the problem to the answer.

Any of us can achieve virtue, if by virtue we merely mean the avoidance of the vices that do not attract us.

The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there.
