10 memorable quotes by Thich Nhat Hanh, the father of mindfulness:

“Because you are alive, everything is possible.”

“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.”

“Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.”

“Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything – anger, anxiety, or possessions – we cannot be free.”

“The source of love is deep in us and we can help others realize a lot of happiness. One word, one action, one thought can reduce another person’s suffering and bring that person joy.”

“If love is in our hears, every thought, word and deed can bring about a miracle. Because understanding is the very foundation of love, words and actions that emerge from our love are always helpful.”

“When we are mindful, deeply in touch with the present moment, our understanding of what is going on deepens, and we begin to be filled with acceptance, joy, peace and love.”

“Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves – slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.”

“For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them.”

“It is my conviction that there is no way to peace – peace is the way.”
