3 " One day there will be no borders, no boundaries, no flags, and no countries and the only passport will be the heart. "
4 " Happiness is not a destination or an experience. It's a decision. "
5 " Peace has never come from dropping bombs. Real peace comes from enlightenment and educating people to behave more in a divine manner. "
6 " Most people are prisoners, thinking only about the future or living in the past. They are not in the present, and the present is where everything begins. "
7 " Live up to your convictions. You walk in grace or you walk in fear. You can't have it both ways. "
8 " People get stuck in their stories. My advice is to end your story and begin your life. "
― Carlos Santana , The Universal Tone: My Life
9 " Everything is a battlefield. If you fight with anger, you are part of the problem. If you fight with joy, you're part of the solution. "
10 " when you go through hell—your own darkest night of the soul—don’t take pictures to show to your friends. "
11 " And as for what I’ve learned: be an instrument of peace. Be a gentleman at all costs. Enjoy yourself—have fun with your existence. Learn to listen to your inner voice and don’t overdose on yourself. Keep your darkness in check. Let music be a healing force. Be a real musician: once you start counting money before notes, you’re a full-time wannabe. Put your guitar down and go outside and take a long drink of light with your eyes. Go walk in the park and take off your shoes and socks and feel the grass under your feet and mud between your toes. Go see a baby smiling, go see a wino crawling, go see life. Feel life—all of it, as much as possible. Find a human melody, then write a song about it. Make it all come through your music. "
12 " What is an ego except something that thinks it’s separate from God? "
13 " It takes strength, man, to know when to let go of your kids, really, really let them go and trust them with the one who made them in the first place. "
14 " In 1983, after my son, Salvador, was born, I visited Cihuatlan, my dad's hometown in Mexico with my dad. I met a lady there who told me, "Carlos, I grew up with Don Jose'. (dad) We were from the same generation. I want you to know that you might be recognized around the world, but here Don Jose' is the Santana that counts." My dad just looked at me. I smiled and said, "Hey that's fine with me. "
15 " We want to extend an invitation to healing... Turn off the news and turn on the light in your own heart. "
16 " The most valuable possession you can own is an open heart; the most powerful weapon you can be is an instrument of peace. "
17 " Your mind is a magnet. You don’t attract what you need or what you want; you attract who you are. And I LOVE WHO I AM! "
