“Don’t open your diamonds in a vegetable market. Tie them in bundle and keep them in your heart, and go your own way.”

The external forces conceal from the eyes the deep meaning of existence; True faith resides in the heart.

When you feel most alive, find out why, This is one guest you won’t greet twice.

Sing such a song with all of your heart that you’ll never have to sing again.

When the Guest is being searched for, it is the intensity of the longing for the Guest that does all the work. Look at me, and you will see a slave of that intensity.

It is the spirit of the quest which helps.

I laugh when I hear the fish in the water is thirsty.

I don’t think there is such a thing as an intelligent mega-rich person. For who with a fine mind can look out upon this world and hoard what can nourish a thousand souls.

I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. I laugh when I hear that people go on pilgrimage to find God.

Be quiet in your mind, quiet in your senses, and also quiet in your body. Then, when all these are quiet, don’t do anything. In that state truth will reveal itself to you.

I do not quote from the scriptures; I simply see what I see.

The truth of love is the truth of the universe: it is the lamp of the soul that reveals the secrets of darkness.

Nada is found within. It is a music without strings which plays in the body. It penetrates the inner and outer and leads you away from illusion.

Look at you, you madman! Screaming you are thirsty and dying in a desert, when all around you there is nothing but water!

All know that the drop merges into the ocean but few know that the ocean merges into the drop.

The sun is within me and so is the moon.

Stand firm in that which you are.

Diamonds – that’ll shut her up… for a minute!

These new prospective projects include the Appalachian Connector and the Diamond East projects, both are major new projects that connect the burgeoning supplies from the Marcellus.

But with a laser, you can drill a hole in a diamond or wipe out cancer.

On every birthday, I ask my wife, ‘What would you like this year?’ and her instant reply is, ‘Diamonds! Diamonds! Diamonds!’

Every verse a diamond, every chorus gold, the sound was my salvation. It was only everything, before money became king.

It is the dialogue that lets the brilliance of the diamond’s infinite facets shine clearly. It is the dialogue that instills within us a power and capacity that is, and always has been, saturated with meaning.

Bowie’s been a huge influence on me. I remember early on, my dad pulling out the ‘Diamond Dogs’ album, and the cover alone just grabbed my attention. I think I was probably around 12.

A diamond was laying in the street covered with dirt. Many fools passed by. Someone who knew diamonds picked it up.
