Das Sicherheitsbedürfnis steht jeder edlen Tat im Wege. Wir können nur etwas verlieren, das wir haben, aber nicht etwa das, was wir sind!

Die Stimme im Kopf bin gar nicht Ich! Wer bin Ich dann? Der, der sich dieser Stimme bewusst ist und sie beobachtet. Denken ist nur ein geringer Teil des Bewusstseins. Das Ego ist nicht falsch, es ist unbewusst!

Bsp: trainierter Körper: Sich über ihn freuen und ihn wertschätzen – ihn aber nicht mit seiner Selbst verwechseln. Selbstwertgefühl und Identität dürfen nicht leiden.

Man Identifiziert sich mit Rollen: Sohn, Patient, Kunde, Besucher etc. Unsere wahre Identität ist das formlose, das reine Sein, vollkommenes Bewusstsein.

Nicht meine Ziele oder Handlungen sind entscheidend, sondern das Bewusstsein dem sie entspringen. Im Gespräch ist das Bewusstseinsfeld wichtiger, als der eigentliche Gesprächsgrund.

Nicht die Tätigkeit bereitet dir Freude, sondern die tiefgreifende Lebendigkeit, die in das Ereignis einfließt, durch deine Bewusstheit. Aufmerksamkeit der inneren Lebendigkeit widmen.

Nur wenn du dich selber liebst, kannst du Liebe geben. Du kannst nicht empfangen, was du nicht gibst.

Wenn du den Tatsachen ins Auge siehst, gewinnst du Kraft. Ohne dabei Geschichten durch Gedanken zu erfinden. „Ich bin Pleite“ = Geschichte - 50ct auf dem Konto = Tatsache

Erfolg erfährt Dir nur, wenn du ihn überall willkommen empfängst! Niemals andere herunter ziehen für Ihren Erfolg.

Den Weg zum Ziel genießen und anerkennen, das man genug ist, kein unkontrolliertes Streben nach mehr, nach ständigem Wachstum. Du darfst etwas wertschätzen, aber nicht daran festhalten

Den Schmerzkörper fallen zu lassen und die Gefühle akzeptieren. Wenn Sie nichts dagegen haben Unglücklich zu sein, was passiert dann mit dem Unglücklich sein?

Alles ist miteinander verbunden, eine Einteilung in gut und schlecht ist nur illusorisch. Etwas das geschieht, einfach nur anerkennen ohne zu bewerten (z.B. Regen, Streit).

Der Verstand kann gar nicht erfassen, welche Bedeutung ein Ereignis im großen Ganzen hat.

Out of my desire to complete Iraq's independence and to finish the withdrawal of the occupation forces from our holy lands, I am obliged to halt military operations of the honest Iraqi resistance until the withdrawal of the occupation forces is complete.

It's an interesting point about sisters not getting the same attention as parents and children, and even brothers. I suspect it's just because women didn't count that much and weren't the ones writing the accounts.

Memories are like a garden. Regularly tend the pleasant blossoms and remove the invasive weeds.

The more you defend a lie, the angrier you become.

Men are as we have always known them, neither better nor worse from the hearts of rogues there springs a latent honesty, from the depths of honest men there emerges a brutish appetite - a thirst for extermination, a desire for blood.

Flowers knew how to preach divinity before men knew how to dissect and botanize them.

To me, one of the big silver linings of the Simpson trial is the advances we've made in understanding domestic violence as a lethal problem. Before that trial, I think there was a widespread sense that it was a family affair, a normal part of a relationship, not really a crime. The reality is that it's very much a crime, and a very serious one.

There are many trials that seem hard to bear at first which prove true blessings later when we see of what false materials they were first composed.

My father died of brain cancer in 1991. I do not know anyone whose life has not been touched by the loss of a loved one to cancer. I wrote my book 'Gracefully Gone' about my father's fight and my struggle growing up with an ill parent. I wrote it to help others know they are not alone in this all-too-often insurmountable war against cancer.

I'm definitely gaining new fans, and that's the key of any success... gain more love.

Defining the terms of the debate generally dictates whos gonna win it.

No great scoundrel is ever uninteresting.

Women do not like CDs of live music. We only like the original recordings. If a song sounds different from the version we fell in love with, then it's awful.

Each thought that is welcomed and recorded is a nest egg by the side of which more will be laid.

My dad makes food with very few delicate flavours.

I don't have a lot of friends; most of the friends I have, I've had since high school.

I think when I was doing 'Amistad,' I was just too young to really understand what the process was, and beyond that, I hadn't really got involved. It was just somehow - and I thought that the artistry was all in the theater.

I certainly never intended for myself an academic career and, were the academy to suffer, I'd just go do something else. I don't have a commitment to it or to really, frankly, almost any institution that assumes that it has to be stable forever.

I do not come out of a literary tradition.

I know what I am in Washington to do: I'm here to fight for hardworking families.

I have a great deal of joy in my life, and I'm very fortunate. That combination makes you aware of just how wonderful life can be on the one hand and how dreadful it can be for people on the other. You can't be happy in isolation.

Young people understand the world. They should be listened to on matters of politics and world organization. But they know nothing of their own lives.

I'm far from being reclusive. I have 30- or 40-year friendships that I prefer to meeting new people. I go to an occasional party, but just because I don't go to a lot of events, and I'm not out in public all the time doesn't mean I'm anti-social or a recluse.

Even the most rational approach to ethics is defenseless if there isnt the will to do what is right.
