It was not by making yourself heard but by staying sane that you carried on the human heritage.
When a man has made peace within himself, he will be able to make peace in the whole world.
Who ever has no fixed opinions has no constant feelings.
Strength of character does not consist solely in having powerful feelings, but in maintaining one’s balance in spite of them
When we are unable to find tranquility within ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere.
I think that it doesn't matter if I travel all over the place. I'll always be a normal teenager on the inside. It always depends on how you act yourself, not what happens to you. That's my view of it all.
Peace is not a state - it is a choice, and you have to remake it every day. It's possible to get a sort of stability, a habit of peace, but it's like an egg balanced, spinning, on its point: lose your momentum, and your equilibrium is gone, too.
People worry about their looks going, but go deeper, and you realise you know yourself more and you're more comfortable in your own skin and more settled within yourself, and that's a really great basis on which to live your life.
What I know for sure is that the only way to endure the quake is to adjust your stance. You can't avoid the daily tremors. Don't fight them. Just find a different way to stand.
There is no external means, whether it's my career, or money or house or a wife or anything, that is going to set me right.
To listen is very hard, because it asks of us so much interior stability that we no longer need to prove ourselves by speeches, arguments, statements or declarations. True listeners no longer have an inner need to make their presence known. They are free to receive, welcome, to accept.
When you are in harmonywith yourself, you'll be in harmony with everyone else.
Unless we find repose within ourselves, it is vain to seek it elsewhere.
I find peace anywhere I go. It depends on what is within the walls of my own home.
When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.
...within you now and always is the unborn possibility of a limitless experience of inner stability and outer treasure, and yours is the privilege of giving birth to it. And you will, if you can believe.
When you pray, you open yourself to the influence of the power which has revealed itself as love. The power gives you freedom and independence. Once touched by this power, you are no longer swayed back and forth by the countless opinions, ideas, and feelings which flow through you. You have found a center for your life that gives you a creative distance so that everything you see, hear, and feel can be tested against the source.
The heart may be broken, and the soul remain unshaken.
I think people are always going to say things about you or disapprove of your relationships or your ideals or your beliefs or something, but I think you have to stand up and stay strong in who you are and not let it affect you.
To be spiritual means to be solid, calm, and peaceful and to be able to look deeply inside and around us.
I have seen ups and downs. I am 10 films old. People say I have changed. But, I don't sense any change in myself. If I had to change, I would have changed in my second or third film.
Just because your world is falling apart doesn't mean you have to fall apart. When everything seems crazy, you be calm. Don't let the outer chaos you are facing get inside of you.
I have always regarded myself as the pillar of my life.
And I think back over my own life and I realize that my own nature-the core me-essentially hasn’t changed all these years. When I wake up in the morning, for those first few moments before I remember where I am or when I am, I still feel that same way I did when I woke up at the age of five.
Be at peace with yourself first and then you will be able to bring peace to others.
