“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them;
that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow
naturally forward in whatever way they like.”

“We are not going to change the whole world, but we can change ourselves
and feel free as birds. We can be serene even in the midst of
calamities and, by our serenity, make others more tranquil. Serenity is
contagious. If we smile at someone, he or she will smile back. And a
smile costs nothing. We should plague everyone with joy. If we are to
die in a minute, why not die happily, laughing? (136-137)”

“Nothing is so aggravating as calmness.”
“Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we
do and see. Every breath we take, every step we take, can be filled with
peace, joy, and serenity. The question is whether or not we are in
touch with it. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment.”
