If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it.

If you feel you are in a black hole, don't give up. There's a way out.

Everything in nature invites us constantly to be what we are.

The world belongs to the enthusiast who keeps cool.

Show up, show up, show up, and after a while the muse shows up, too.

You know the greatest thing is passion, without it what have you got?

The world only exists in your eyes... You can make it as big or as small as you want.

The older I get, the greater power I seem to have to help the world.

We are all of us obliged... to nurse a few little follies in ourselves.

Walls turned sideways are bridges.

The transformation of the heart is a wondrous thing, no matter how you land there.

When someone tells me “no,” it doesn't mean I can't do it, it simply means I can't do it with them.
