Quotes from Gary Zukav:

Changing the world begins with the very personal process of changing yourself.  The only place you can begin is where you are, and the only time you can begin is always now.

When you have an emotional reaction to what you see, you are judging. That is your signal that you have an issue inside of yourself – with yourself – not with the other person.

If you react to evil, look inside yourself for the very thing that so agitates you and you will find it. If it were not there, you would simply discern, act appropriately, and move on.

We cannot stop the winter or the summer from coming. We cannot stop the spring or the fall or make them other than they are. They are gifts from the universe that we cannot refuse.  But we can choose what we will contribute to life when each arrives.

We cannot control what emotions or circumstances we will experience next, but we can choose how we will respond to them.

Each personality draws to itself personalities with consciousness of like frequency, or like weakness.  Therefore, the world of an angry person is filled with angry people.  The world of a greedy person is filled with greedy people and a loving person lives in a world of loving people.
