Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win.

To live only for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.

The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands.

Any effort that has self-glorification as its final endpoint is bound to end in disaster.

Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.

If our friendship depends on things like space and time, then when we finally overcome space and time, we've destroyed our own brotherhood! But overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now. And in the middle of Here and Now, don't you think that we might see each other once or twice?

We can never obtain peace in the world if we neglect the inner world and don't make peace with ourselves. World peace must develop out of inner peace.

We live very close together. So, our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

In some cases is keeping your mouth shut the best answer.

There are many different kinds of power.  True power comes from serving and helping others.  Such behavior makes people respect you.  They are willing to listen to your views and advice, and they support you.  The energy of many people is thus channeled through one person.  This kind of power is positive and authentic.
