You wake up in the morning and you look at your old spoon, and you say to yourself, 'Mick, it's time to get yourself a new spoon.' And you do.

I, of course, meditate for two hours every morning. It's part of my schedule I wake up at 4 a.m. every day and I love it.

I spend my happiest hours in reading Vedantic books. They are to me like the light of the morning, like the pure air of the mountains - so simple, so true, if once understood.

I love being. There's so much wisdom in it. You wake up in the morning and you think, Hey, isn't it great just being?

I never knew a man come to greatness or eminence who lay abed late in the morning.
