The human heart is like a ship on a stormy sea driven about by winds blowing from all four corners of heaven.
The one who loves least controls the relationship.
We fear the things we want the most.
Nothing outside of ourselves will ever make us happy, because happiness is an inside-out experience.
You should enjoy the present moment because this is all you have. Create for tomorrow, but live in and for today.
You were placed on this earth to create, not to compete.
The degree to which you will awaken is in direct proportion to the amount of truth you are willing to accept about yourself.
The dress does not make the monk. [Fr. , L'habit ne fait le moine. ]
The relic from before birth Enters one's heart one day. Be as careful as if you were holding a full vessel, Be as gentle as if you were caressing an infant. The gate of earth should be shut tight, The portals of heaven should be first opened. Wash the yellow sprouts clean, And atop the mountain is thunder shaking the earth.
Could you imagine how horrible things would be if we always told others how we felt? Life would be intolerably bearable.
I'm a comedian, for God's sake. Viewers shouldn't trust me. And you know what? They're hip enough to know they shouldn't trust me. I'm just doing stand-up comedy.
