If you're not actively involved in getting what you want, you don't really want it.

Wealth is enjoying what we already have, not getting more of what we think will make us happy.

Acceptance is not a state of passivity or inaction. We are not saying you can't change the world, right wrongs or replace evil with good. Acceptance is, in fact, the first step to successful action. If you don't fully accept a situation precisely the way it is, you will have difficulty changing it.
Peter McWilliams

While goals are chosen, a purpose is discovered. Our purpose is something we have been doing all along, and will continue to do, regardless of circumstances, until the day we die

You can't afford the luxury of a negative thought
Peter McWilliams

I see nothing wrong with the human trait to desire. In fact, I consider it integral to our success mechanism. Becoming attached to what we desire is what causes the trouble. If you must have it in order to be happy, then you are denying the happiness of the here and now.

No matter what you do, no matter how stupid, dumb or damaging you judge it to be, there is a lesson to be learned from it.
Peter McWilliams

No matter what you do, no matter how stupid, dumb or damaging you judge it to be, there is a lesson to be learned from it. No matter what happens to you, no matter how unfair, inequitable or wrong, there's something you can take from the situation and use for your advancement.

I'm a confirmed negaholic. I don't just see a glass that's half full and call it half-empty I see a glass that's completely full and worry that someone's going to tip it over.

If you want peace, stop fighting. If you want peace of mind, stop fighting with your thoughts.

You're asking the government to control individual morality. This is a government that can't buy a toilet seat for under $600.

Laughter is essential to our equilibrium, to our well-being, to our aliveness. If we're not well, laughter helps us get well. If we are well, laughter helps us stay that way.

Be easier on yourself, on everyone, on everything. Suspend your judgments on the way things should be, must be, and ought to be. Suspending judgments gives you greater ease. Consider ease the antidote for disease.

Guilt is anger directed at ourselves - at what we did or did not do. Resentment is anger directed at others - at what they did or did not do.
