"I’ve only been in love one time, I said as I held up my pinky finger. I could have held up my index finger, but I wasn’t in love that long."

"If you are a Buddhist, inspire yourself by thinking of the bodhisattva. If you are a Christian, think of the Christ, who came not to be served by others but to serve them in joy, in peace, and in generosity. For these things, these are not mere words, but acts, which go all the way, right up to their last breath. Even their death is a gift, and resurrection is born from this kind of death. (157)"

"But there were too many points at which the other self could invade the self he wanted to preserve, and there were too many forms of invasion: certain words, sounds, lights, actions his hands or feet performed, and if he did nothing at all, heard and saw nothing, the shouting of some triumphant inner voice that shocked him and cowed him."

"When the actions becomes frequent than the words, success becomes heavier than the dreams. Do more, say less."

"Thoughts do more. Words to much. Actions do much more."

"What you do teaches faster, and has a lasting impression, far beyond what you say."

"Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words."

"You solely owe success and happiness to yourself. So why not make your inner-self proud of your daily decisions and actions?"

"What we do comes out of who we believe we are."

"The most confused you will ever get is when you try to convince your heart and spirit of something your mind knows is a lie."

"Stop pointing fingers and placing blame on others. Your life can only change to the degree that you accept responsibility for it."

"Both friend and enemy reside within us. One lives by the rule of compassion, the other by the rule of hard knocks. Though potential influence of either extreme is inevitable, our actions bear witness to the one we embrace."

"There is no true reality. It is just an interplay of your consciousness, awareness, thoughts, and actions."

"Man is nothing else but what he purposes, he exists only in so far as he realizes himself, he is therefore nothing else but the sum of his actions, nothing else but what his life is."

"The wise do not buy into other people’s perceptions of who they are and what they are capable of. Instead, they bypass a person’s public persona and see who they are in their highest expression. When you see actions taken with integrity, instead of words only, you will then know a soul’s worth."

"To assess the quality of thoughts of people, don't listen to their words, but watch their actions."

"You are not your body. You are the sum of all your actions, and they live on after your body dies. You may be mortal, but your brand is eternal."

"Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions."

"It is true that power corrupts. The hope at the polling stations and the actions of the elected representatives, unfortunately, often turn to be opposite. The power of ballot turns into the power of wallet. Some law-makers become law-breakers."

"Our thoughts, imaginations, and actions are what make us into who we are."
