Quotes you’ll never forget:
- “You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control.”
- “I think I deserve something beautiful.”
- “We don't realize that, somewhere within us all, there does exist a supreme self who is eternally at peace.”
