In order to really be, you have to be free from the thinking, free from the anxieties, free from the fear, free from the longing. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Silence is essential. We need silence, just as much as we need air, just as much as plants need light. If our minds are crowded with words and thoughts, there is no space for us. ~

Thich Nhat Hanh

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be excepted by others. You need to except yourself. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

The heart of the matter is always our oneness with divine spirit, our union with all life. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Mindfulness is above all the capacity simply to recognize the presence of an object without taking sides, without judging and without craving or despising that object. ~

Thich Nhat Hanh
