I just do not hang around anybody that I don't want to be with. Period. For me, that's been a blessing, and I can stay positive. I hang around people who are happy, who are growing, who want to learn, who don't mind saying sorry or thank you… and [are] having a fun time.

I am not more gifted than the average human being. If you know anything about history, you would know that is so--what hard times I had in studying and the fact that I do not have a memory like some other people do… I am just more curious than the average person and I will not give up on a problem until I have found the proper solution. This is one of my greatest satisfactions in life--solving problems--and the harder they are, the more satisfaction do I get out of them. Maybe you could consider me a bit more patient in continuing with my problem than is the average human being. Now, if you understand what I have just told you, you see that it is not a matter of being more gifted but a matter of being more curious and maybe more patient until you solve a problem.

We see the essential divinity underlying the whole of the world's process of growth, and the fundamental rightness of helping that immense work forward as best we can in the time we have… The dichotomy between self and others, between responding to others' needs and taking care of one's own disappears, as one acquires the practical wisdom to see the intrinsic legitimacy of both and the relative priority of each.
