“God enters through the wound.”

We don’t get wounded alone and we don’t heal alone.

The healthy man does not torture others – generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers.

Every human life contains a potential, if that potential is not fulfilled, then that life was wasted.

When goals go, meaning goes. When meaning goes, purpose goes. When purpose goes, life goes dead on our hands.

The man who promises everything is sure to fulfil nothing, and everyone who promises too much is in danger of using evil means in order to carry out his promises, and is already on the road to perdition.

Perhaps, I myself am the enemy who needs to be loved.

One finds one’s destiny on the path one takes to avoid it.

Individualization does not shut one out from the world, but gathers the world to oneself.

If our religion is based on salvation, our chief emotions will be fear and trembling. If our religion is based on wonder, our chief emotion will be gratitude.

All true things must change and only that which changes remains true.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

Freedom stretches only as far as the limits of our consciousness.

Never diagnose a (client) until after their therapy is over.

You must go in quest of yourself, and you will find yourself again only in the simple and forgotten things.

I’ve realized that somebody who’s tired and needs a rest, and goes on working all the same is a fool.

We meet ourselves time and again in a thousand disguises on the path of life.

No matter what someone has endured, it doesn’t give them a license to be harmful to you.

That said, your values will not always be the object of public admiration. In fact, the more you live by your beliefs, the more you will endure the censure of the world.

To endure is greater than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted my no difficulty; to keep heart when all have lost it; to go through intrigue spotless; to forgo even ambition when the end is gained – who can say this is not greatness?

Solitude, isolation, are painful things, and beyond human endurance.

Do not mock a pain you have not endured.

The sea – this truth must be confessed – has no generosity. No display of manly qualities – courage, hardihood, endurance, faithfulness – has ever been known to touch its irresponsible consciousness of power.

How small of all that human hearts endure, That part which laws or kings can cause or cure.

Firmness in enduring and exertion is a character I always wish to possess. I have always despised the whining yelp of complaint and cowardly resolve.
