“Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding.”

Give evil nothing to oppose and it will disappear by itself.

Act without expectation.

The reason why the universe is eternal is that it does not live for itself; it gives life to others as it transforms.

When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everyone will respect you.

Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.

Silence is a source of Great Strength.

Empty your mind of all thoughts. Let your heart be at peace.

Manifest plainness, Embrace simplicity, Reduce selfishness, Have few desires.

Muddy water, let stand, becomes clear.

When there is no desire, all things are at peace.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth.

I love seeing people come out of darkness.

We aren’t bodies at all; who we are is the love inside us, and it is that love alone that determines our value. When our minds are filled with light, there is no room for darkness.

God spoke to me.” Don’t let the voice of the darkness, tell you that you are not worth that God would not speak to you. Don’t let him tell you, you don’t matter. God spoke to you.

Being in darkness and confusion is interesting to me. But behind it you can rise out of that and see things the way the really are.

It doesn’t matter if a cave has been in darkness for 10,000 years or half an hour, once you light a match it is illuminated.

It’s the attitude about life, man. Looking at the light instead of the dark. Looking at love instead of fear.

I’ll see your darkness and love you anyway.

If you are afraid of darkness, you are afraid of your own soul.
