Some of his Love and Wisdom quotes:-

“Love is the bridge between you and everything.”
“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.”

“Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love.”
“That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquility.”
“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”

“What you seek is seeking you.”
