“The darkest night is ignorance.”

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

Rule your mind or it will rule you.

True love is born from understanding.

Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.

He who loves 50 people has 50 woes; he who loves no one has no woes.

If a traveller does not meet with one who is his better, or his equal, let him firmly keep to his solitary journey; there is no companionship with a fool.

It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with truth.

Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.

If you truly loved yourself, you could never hurt another.

The past is already gone, the future is not yet here. There’s only one moment for you to live, and that is the present moment

Attachment leads to suffering.

The ignorant man is an ox. He grows in size, not in wisdom.

A man is not called wise because he talks and talks again; but if he is peaceful, loving and fearless then he is in truth called wise.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

May all that have life be delivered from suffering.

There’s always a glimmer in eyes that have been through the dark.

And the darkness felt suddenly like home again. Like a familiar place in the shadows where we used to meet.

And all this aching memories of you are floating through my burning veins; letting my scars glow in a dark blue reflecting the colour of your weary eyes.

She’ll find peace in the solitude, in the depths of the well. The darkness alludes to how far she fell. And perhaps, the view is better from way down afar, It keeps the water still In her reservoir.

I survived the darkness. Crawled. Clawed. Endured. Untangled lies from truth. This wisdom is my sword.

When I met my darkness clouds | swirled the night sky | refracted light danced in the wild eyes | freedom came for me.

Accept the darkness before you expect the sun to shine.

Go ahead break my heart. Although I love your darkness, the sun will eventually dry my tears and paint rainbows in my sky. I will transform this pain into poetry and these wings will carry me away.
