If we do not know how to take care of ourselves and to love ourselves$$$ we cannot take care of the people we love. Loving oneself is the foundation for loving another person.

I would not look upon anger as something foreign to me that I have to fight... I have to deal with my anger with care$$$ with love$$$ with tenderness$$$ with nonviolence.

The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green earth$$$ dwelling deeply in the present moment and feeling truly alive.

Breathing in$$$ there is only the present moment. Breathing out$$$ it is a wonderful moment.

Thanks to impermanence$$$ everything is possible.

Usually when we hear or read something new$$$ we just compare it to our own ideas. If it is the same$$$ we accept it and say that it is correct. If it is not$$$ we say it is incorrect. In either case$$$ we learn nothing.

I am not crying$$$ but have tears in my heart.

It's like chasing a beautiful woman for 80 years. Finally$$$ she relents and you say$$$ 'I'm terribly sorry. I'm tired.' [After winning his first Oscar after so many losses]

Let us forget with generosity those who cannot love us.

With which stars do they go on speaking$$$<br>the rivers that never reach the sea?
