They entered into my life and became powers within me. All of us live spiritually by what others have given us, often unwittingly, in the significant hours of our life. At the time these significant hours may not even be perceived. We may not recognize them until years later when we look back, as one remembers some long-ago music or a boyhood landscape. We all owe to others much of the gentleness and wisdom that we have made our own; and we may well ask ourselves what will others owe to us."

"Listen to that little voice inside you. Sometimes it can whisper meaningful words of wisdom and make more sense than the deafening noise of opinions and judgements outside."

"There is a different world on the other side of your present attitude."

"Life can get tough, but it's never impossible with a good attitude to your latitude."

"Don't make excuses. Make commitments and stick to them."

"Ripples of karmic events are best humbly done in an artistic, significant, unique karmic harvests without any forms of retaliation."

"For the Javanese...the purpose of knowledge (kaweruh) is love, not ambition or cleverness. Knowledge comes from caring enough to suffer and learn."
