When the suffering becomes acute enough, one goes forward.

The man of power is ruined by power, the man of money by money, the submissive man by subservience, the pleasure seeker by pleasure.

You are willing to die, you coward, but not to live.

Every experience has its element of magic.

As a body everyone is single, as a soul never.

When a door closes you have two choices: give up, or keep going.

The past does not equal the future.

Three rules: I do not eat too much; I do not worry too much; and, if I do my best, I believe that what happens, happens for the best.

To be understanding is more important than to be right.
