The world has enough beautiful mountains and meadows, spectacular skies and serene lakes. It has enough lush forests, flowered fields, and sandy beaches. It has plenty of stars and the promise of a new sunrise and sunset every day. What the world needs more of is people to appreciate and enjoy it.

Michael Josephson

In humility is the greatest freedom. As long as you have to defend the imaginary self that you think is important, you lose your peace of heart.

Thomas Merton

We should notice that we are already supported at every moment. There is the earth below our feet and there is the air, filling our lungs and emptying them. We should begin from this when we need support.

Natalie Goldberg

People should learn how to just be there, doing nothing.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Every day brings a choice: to practice stress or to practice peace.

Joan Borysenko

I love the silent hour of the night, for blissful dreams may then arise, revealing to my charmed sight. What may not bless my waking eyes.

Anne Brontë
