Mindfulness

The earth laughs in flowers.

True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.

The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.

A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.

All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.

The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life.

I exist as I am, that is enough.

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

Silence is a source of great strength.

An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.

Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.

To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.

Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit.

Better than a thousand hollow words is one word that brings peace.

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought.

Whether you think you can, or you think you can't — you're right.

Nothing is worth more than this day.

The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.

My life has been filled with terrible misfortune; most of which never happened.

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.

He who fears he shall suffer, already suffers what he fears.

Know your own happiness.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

Beware the barrenness of a busy life.

Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive — to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom.

We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

Happiness, not in another place but this place, not for another hour but this hour.

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself.

Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.

Forever is composed of nows.

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.

Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.

To find yourself, think for yourself.

How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbour says or does.

Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop.

Confine yourself to the present.

The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.
