“You could not step twice into the same rivers; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.”

Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn’t even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.

Realize that war is common and justice is strife, and that all things come into being and pass away through strife.

Deliberate violence is more to be quenched than a fire.

To be evenminded is the greatest virtue. Wisdom is to speak the truth and act in keeping with its nature.

Bigotry is the sacred disease.

If you do not hope, you will not win that which is not hoped for, since it is unattainable and inaccessible.

Hide our ignorance as we will, an evening of wine soon reveals it.

To get everything you want is not a good thing. Disease makes health seem sweet. Hunger leads to the appreciation of being full-fed. Tiredness creates the enjoyment of resting.

When men dream, each has his own world. When they are awake, they have a common world.

My dogs are there to teach me to take a break. They’re there to remind me that there’s more to life than work.

Understanding our history is one of many ways to break the cycle of racial injustice in this country. ⁣

We each need to find our own inspiration. Sometimes it is not easy.

If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it.

I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now.

When someone leaves, it’s because someone else is about to arrive.

Had I not created my whole world, I would certainly have died in other people’s.

People come, people go – they’ll drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book.
