“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”  Thich Nhat Hanh

“If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it.  This is the most basic kind of peace work.”  Thich Nhat Hanh

“To meditate does not mean to fight with a problem.  To meditate means to observe.  Your smile proves it.  It proves you are being gentle with yourself.  That the sun of awareness is shining in you.   That you have control of your situation.  You are yourself, and you have aquired some peace.”  Thich Nhat Hanh

“Only as high as I reach can I grow. 

Only as far as I seek can I go.

Only as deep as I look can I see.

Only as much as I dream can I be.”
