Above all, don't fear difficult moments. The best comes from them.

Don't allow your rituals to become ruts.

When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in.

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

You live out the confusions until they become clear.

In all things it is better to hope than to despair.

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

My turn shall also come: I sense the spreading of a wing.

To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

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

You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people, if you don't serve the people.
