The difference between misery and happiness depends on what we do with our attention.

Vulnerability is important. You can’t let your skin get too thick.

The greatest reward of righteousness is peace of mind.

Patience is also a form of action.

Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?

Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature.

Many are the wonders of the world, and none so wonderful as man.

Healing begins where the wound was made.

Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.

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