Common sense is wisdom, and wisdom is different from knowledge. You are wise when you no longer act against yourself. You are wise when you live in harmony with yourself, with your own kind, with all of creation.

More quotes by Miguel Ángel Ruiz

Be Impeccable with Your Word... Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

The Four Agreements (1997)

I change my story by changing what I believe about myself. When I clean up the lies I believe about myself, the lies I believe about other people change. Every time I change myself, my whole story changes to adapt to the new main character.

You live in the story that you create, and I live in the story that I create. Your story is your reality — a virtual reality that is only true for you, the one who creates it.
Long ago, somebody said, "Every head is a world," and it's true.

The Voice of Knowledge (2004)

Be Impeccable with Your Word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

The Four Agreements (1997)

Love is not about concepts; love is about action.
The only way to master love is to practice love. You don't need to justify your love, you don't need to explain your love; you just need to practice your love.

The Mastery of Love (1999)
