  ·       “We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.” ~ Dalai Lama XIV

  ·       “If there is no blind hope, there is also no disappointment. If one knows that everything is impermanent, one does not grasp, and if one does not grasp, one will not think in terms of having or lacking, and therefore one lives fully.” ~ Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse

  ·       “Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.” ~ Thich Nhat Hahn

  ·       “When we think that something is going to bring us pleasure, we don’t know what’s really going to happen. When we think something is going to give us misery, we don’t know. Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all.” ~ Pema Chödrön

  ·       “You are your own teacher. Looking for teachers can’t solve your own doubts. Investigate yourself to find the truth—inside, not outside. Knowing yourself is most important.” ~ Ajahn Chah

  ·       “Always say ‘yes’ to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is? What could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? Surrender to what is. Say ‘yes’ to life—and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you.” ~ Eckhart Tolle

  ·       “If my worth was never in question, how would I move through the world?”

  ·       "Hypocrisy: prejudice with a halo." - Ambrose Bierce
