Thich Nhat Hanh Quotes
«Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.»
«The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green earth, dwelling deeply in the present moment and feeling truly alive.»
«Live your daily life in a way that you never lose yourself. When you are carried away with your worries, fears, cravings, anger, and desire, you run away from yourself and you lose yourself. The practice is always to go back to oneself.»
