Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing.

She is like a road - pretty, but crooked.

How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.

All the things that truly matter - beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace - arise from beyond the mind.
