To rise above the modifications of your mind, when you cease your mind, when you cease to be a part of your mind, that is yoga.
I like to speak on matters which matter to human beings, and almost everything matters to human beings.
I respect myself and insist upon it from everybody. And because I do it, I then respect everybody, too.
If you must look back, do so forgivingly. If you will look forward, do so prayerfully. But the wisest course would be to be present in the present gratefully.
Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome good.
Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.
My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.
My greatest blessing has been the birth of my son. My next greatest blessing has been my ability to turn people into children of mine.
My life has been long, and believing that life loves the liver of it, I have dared to try many things, sometimes trembling, but daring still.
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.
