The mind of the beginner is empty, free of the habits of the expert, ready to accept, to doubt, and open to all the possibilities.

Shunryu Suzuki

The basic root of happiness lies in our minds; outer circumstances are nothing more than adverse or favorable.

Matthieu Ricard

Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead, let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come.

Rumi

As long as we believe ourselves to be even the least different from God, fear remains with us; but when we know ourselves to be the One, fear goes; of what can we be afraid?

Swami Vivekananda

Embrace your suffering tenderly.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Treat every moment as your last. It is not preparation for something else.

Shunryu Suzuki
