Favorite Thich Nhat Hanh Quotes:
“Each moment is a chance for us to make peace with the world, to make peace possible for the world, to make happiness possible for the world.”
"We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love."
"People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong. Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?"
Love is the capacity to take care, to protect, to nourish. If you are not capable of generating that kind of energy toward yourself- if you are not capable of taking care of yourself, of nourishing yourself, of protecting yourself- it is very difficult to take care of another person. It's clear that to love oneself is the foundation of the love of other people. Love is a practice. Love is truly a practice.
Every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do, it bears your signature.
Fearlessness is not only possible, it is the ultimate joy. When you touch nonfear, you are free.
We humans have lost the wisdom of genuinely resting and relaxing. We worry too much. We don't allow our bodies to heal, and we don't allow our minds and hearts to heal.
If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.
