I have always had a half-baked philosophy that having a plan B can muddy up your plan A.

So let your heart break. It will change what you do with your optimism.

Ideally, we lose ourselves in what we read only to return to ourselves transformed, and part of a more expansive world.

The first steps toward non-violence, which is surely an absolute obligation we all bear, is to begin to think carefully and to ask others to do the same.

It betrays a poverty of ambition if all you think about is what goods you can buy instead of what good you can do.

Each moment is a procession from the future into the past and the sweet spot is always the present. Live in that sweet spot. Be present.

Though there is much of life that you must face alone, you cannot make it out here in this world by yourself. Don't leave your support system when you are in distress.

Being in nature gave me an unbelievable confidence in myself. I found a beauty, strength, and an inner peace that I never knew was present.

Life is a struggle with uncertain outcomes. Nonetheless, the natural world remains the substrate on which we must build our existence.

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature.

Your life is going to be a gradual process of becoming kinder and more loving. Hurry up. Speed it along. Start right now.

Real happiness has very much to do with our emotion, not money. Everybody wants a happy life, happy family, happy community. So please pay some attention about our inner value.
