Our individual serenity, or lack of it, relates directly to the way we practice the spiritual principles we have come to value. (A Time to be Free, 19 December)

The more upset a person is with other people, and with circumstances, and the more satisfied he is with himself, the further he is from wisdom. (Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar of Wisdom, 13 September)

Our lifelong project of growth takes us through many changes. Some we seek, and some happen to us. (Vanceburg and Silverman, Family Feeling, 26 December)

Illnesses of the mind are much more dangerous than illnesses of the body. (Marcus Tullius Cicero in A Calendar of Wisdom by Leo Tolstoy, 6 October)
