George Harrison passed away 21 years ago today, and he left behind an incredible body of work for us to enjoy. Deep within those beautiful songs of his are some sage words that have surely made me think and brought me comfort over the years. I wanted to share a few of my favorites with you today. Miss you, George.

• 1. Within You Without You

  When you’ve seen beyond yourself
  Then you may find peace of mind is waiting there.
  And the time will come when you see we’re all one
  And life flows on within you and without you.

• 2. Isn't It A Pity

  Some things take so long
  but how do I explain
  when not too many people
  can see we’re all the same?
  And because of all their tears
  their eyes can’t hope to see
  the beauty that surrounds them.
  Isn’t it a pity.

• 3. Beware Of Darkness

  Watch out now, take care
  beware of the thoughts that linger
  winding up inside your head.
  The hopelessness around you
  in the dead of night.

  Beware of sadness.
  It can hit you,
  it can hurt you,
  make you sore and what is more,
  that is not what you are here for.

• 4. Be Here Now

  Remember now,
  be here now.
  And it’s not like it was before.
  The past, was, be here now.
  And it’s not like it was before
  it was.

• 5. The Answer's At The End

  Scan not a friend with a microscopic glass.
  You know his faults, now let his foibles pass.
  Life is one long enigma, my friend
  So read on, read on,
  The answer’s at the end.

• 6. See Yourself

  It’s easier to tell a lie than it is to tell the truth.
  It’s easier to kill a fly than it is to turn it loose.
  It’s easier to criticize somebody else
  Than to see yourself.

• 7. It's All Too Much

  It’s all too much for me to take
  The love that’s shining all around you
  All the world’s a birthday cake
  So take a piece, but not too much.

• 8. Save The World

  We’ve got to save the world
  Someone’s children they may need it
  So far we’ve seen
  The big business of extinction bleed it
  We’ve got to save the world.

• 9. Any Road

  If you don’t know where you’re going,
  Any road will take you there.

• 10. Brainwashed

  The soul does not love, it is love itself.
  It does not exist, it is existence itself.
  It does not know, it is knowledge itself.
