Thich Nhat Hanh

To be beautiful means to be yourself.

Enlightenment is when a wave realizes it is the ocean.

Waking up this morning, I smile. Twenty-four brand new hours are before me.

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear.

Because you are alive, everything is possible.

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.

Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile.

Smile, breathe and go slowly.

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.

Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.
