“This thing that troubles you is only one small part of your life. Don't allow it to be all-consuming when there's so much more to embrace.”
“About life:"It is not complicated unless I make it so. It is not difficult unless I allow it to be. A second is no more than a second, a minute no more than a minute, a day no more than a day. They pass. All things and all time will pass. Don't force or fear, don't control or lose control. Don't fight and don't stop fighting. Embrace and endure. If you embrace, you will endure.”
“Of all your troubles, great and small, the greatest are the ones that don't happen at all.”
“Such a small thing to cause so much trouble.”
“There's much more in any given moment than we usually perceive, and that we ourselves are much more than we usually perceive. When you know that, part of you can stand outside the drama of your life.”
“Your trouble, William, is that you have no ambition. You don't see that there is in life only ever one goal.' 'And what is that?'More', George said simply. 'Just more of anything. More of everything.”
