We should not permit our grievances to overshadow our opportunities

Cast down your bucket where you are. 

The individual who can do something that the world wants done will, in the end, make his way regardless of his race.

I learned the lesson that great men cultivate love, and that only little men cherish a spirit of hatred. I learned that assistance given to the weak makes the one who gives it strong; and that oppression of the unfortunate makes one weak

 Providence so often uses men and institutions to accomplish a purpose. 

There is no escape — man drags man down, or man lifts man up.

Your depression is connected to your insolence and refusal to praise.

Love is the bridge between you and everything.

Shine like the whole universe is yours.

Don’t make yourself miserable with what is to come or not to come.

It is certain that an atom of goodness on the path of faith is never lost.

Listen to the sound of waves within you.

Do not worry if all the candles in the world flicker and die. We have the spark that starts the fire.

If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?

If all you can do is crawl, start crawling.

The spirit is so near that you can’t see it! But reach for it… don’t be a jar, full of water, whose rim is always dry. Don’t be the rider who gallops all night and never sees the horse that is beneath him.

Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop.

Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
