Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind contentment grace the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.

Never be in a hurry do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever even if your whole world seems upset.

To attain inner peace you must actually give your life not just your possessions. When you at last give your life - bringing into alignment your beliefs and the way you live then and only then can you begin to find inner peace.

The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace. A persistent simplification will create an inner and outer well-being that places harmony in one's life.

I've worked so hard to eliminate the inner geek from my life. I suddenly realize I have no patience for those people who still have their geeks showing. Now I see why being 'normal' has been so important to me.

How can a society that exists on instant mashed potatoes packaged cake mixes frozen dinners and instant cameras teach patience to its young?

I don't think children's inner feelings have changed. They still want a mother and father in the very same house they want places to play.

Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye... it also includes the inner pictures of the soul.

The structure of life I have described in buildings - the structure which I believe to be objective - is deeply and inextricably connected with the human person and with the innermost nature of human feeling.

To any artist worthy of the name all in nature is beautiful because his eyes fearlessly accepting all exterior truth read there as in an open book all the inner truth.

Nature... is nothing but the inner voice of self-interest.

I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It's by the nature of his deep inner soul... we're required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.

I'm really an inner spirit that only makes itself known through the music. A lot of people think I'm an introvert or quiet and moody. I've even heard some people say that there's a certain mystery or darkness about me. I'm not that way. I'm just really into what I do.

The calm mind allows one to connect with the inner self the Soul the very source of our being. That's where the music lives. That's where my music comes from.

Music is a means of giving form to our inner feelings without attaching them to events or objects in the world.

To me the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about but the inner music that words make.

Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.
