The meaning of life is to find your gift. To find your gift is happiness.

The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

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

One shouldn't just hope to be treated well: one must insist on it.

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.

Tolerance, like any aspect of peace, is forever a work in progress.

The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.

The quality of your life depends quite a bit on the quality of attention you project out onto the world.

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

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