- “Your morning sets up the success of your day. So many people wake up and immediately check text messages, emails, and social media. I use my first hour awake for my morning routine of breakfast and meditation to prepare myself.” – Caroline Ghosn
- “Meditation is to be aware of every thought and of every feeling, never to say it is right or wrong, but just to watch it and move with it. In that watching, you begin to understand the whole movement of thought and feeling. And out of this awareness comes silence.” – Jiddu Krishnamurti
- “Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.”

- “Half an hour’s meditation each day is essential, except when you are busy. Then a full hour is needed.” – Saint Francis de Sales

But if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions.” – Kelsang Gyatso
