Joy is not in things, it is in us.

If you wake up and the day feels broken, just lean into the crack.

Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.

From our first babblings to our last word, we make but one statement, and that is our life.

The simple act of paying attention can take you a long way.

Find the thing you do well and do it again and again for the rest of your life.

Ultimately a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

The ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have.

You live out the confusions until they become clear.

All you have to do is take a close look at yourself and you will understand everyone else.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.
