“This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.”

“Your Remedy is within you, but you do not sense it.Your Sickness is from you, but you do not perceive it.You Presume you are a small entity,But within you is enfolded the entire universe.You are indeed the evident book,By whose alphabet the hidden becomes the manifest.Therefore, you have no need to look beyond yourself,What you seek is within you, if only you reflect.”

“We carry within us the wonders we seek without us.”

“We must enhance the light, not fight the darkness.”

“The only sure way to avoid making mistakes is to have no new ideas.”

“We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them.”

“Everything flows and nothing stays.”
