“It is a long road from conception to completion.”

Man, I can assure you, is a nasty creature.

The public scandal is what constitutes the offence: sins sinned in secret are no sins at all.

I would like to be like my father and all the rest of my ancestors who never married.

The road is a long one from the projection of a thing to its accomplishment.

The less we deserve good fortune, the more we hope for it.

At least it’s better to be married than to be dead.

Most people die from the remedy rather than from the illness.

I have a heart to love all the world; and like Alexander I wish there were yet other worlds, so I could carry even further my amorous conquests.

The smallest errors are always the best.

As the purpose of comedy is to correct the vices of men, I see no reason why anyone should be exempt.

Gold is the key, whatever else we try; and that sweet metal aids the conqueror in every case, in love as well as war.

Beauty without intelligence is like a hook without bait.

Of all follies there is none greater than wanting to make the world a better place.

It is the public scandal that offends; to sin in secret is no sin at all.

One is easily fooled by that which one loves.

To marry a fool is to be no fool.

A successful branding program is based on the concept of singularity.

When the voices of democracy are silenced, freedom becomes a hollow concept.

My concept is that anybody has creative ability, but very few people know how to use it.

Stop all delays, all seeking and all striving. Put down your concepts, ideas and beliefs. For one instant be still and directly encounter the silent unknown core of your being. In that instant Freedom will embrace you and reveal the Awakening that you are.

Why is it that so few people are truly free? Because they try to conform to ideas, concepts, and beliefs in their heads.

It’s wearing spiritual clothing and spiritual concepts, but it is really no different than a drunk in the gutter who doesn’t want to feel the pain anymore.

Feel your way into what I am saying rather than thinking about it. Only a self-concept looks and longs for God. Drop your self-concept and there is only God meeting God. Enlightenment is the restoration of cosmic humor.

In the heart of a human being, emptiness becomes love. When we touch that Source, instantly the love is present. Literally, the divine becomes human and the human becomes divine.
