Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:

….myself it speaks and spells,

Crying What I do is me: for that I came.

“You can’t go back and make a new start, but you can start right now and make a brand new ending.”

“I say, ‘follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be.’”

“You (and every other created thing) begin with a divine DNA, an inner destiny as it were, a blueprint tucked away in the cellar of your being, that begs to be allowed, to be fulfilled, and to show itself.”

“And one of the loneliest things you can find is somebody who is in the wrong kind of work, who shouldn’t be doing what they are doing, but should be doing something else and haven’t the courage to get up and leave it and make a new possibility for themselves.”

“You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it’s better to listen to what it has to say.”

“The important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.”

“Does the rose have to do something? No, the purpose of a rose is to be a rose. Your purpose is to be yourself. You don’t have to run anywhere to become someone else.”

“The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The work of life is to develop it. The meaning of life is to give your gift away.”

“If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. … We need not wait to see what others do.”
