“The power of what we say is not determined by the duration of our talk but by its content. The more the mouth chatters, the further the mind scatters.”

“It's not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life, it's what you whisper to yourself that has the most power!”

“What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds.”

“Patanjali says that we can meditate on anything that our heart desires. The important thing is not what we meditate on, but more that we meditate. And then gradually to meditate more and more on what corresponds to the innermost longing of our heart. The practice of meditation . . . gradually works its magic in stilling the mind. (42)”

“According to Jesus, acknowledging our neediness opens the door to genuine and lasting happiness. Religions usually talk about what a person has to "do", but Jesus talks about what we "can't do". He says that our weakness, not our power or what we bring to God, enables us to know God.”

“What we do during our working hours determines what we have;what we do in our leisure hours determines what we are.”
