“Receive without conceit, release without struggle.”

The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.

That which is really beautiful has no need of anything; not more than law, not more than truth, not more than benevolence or modesty.

How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.

Men exist for the sake of one another.

Do not disturb yourself by picturing your life as a whole.

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together,but do so with all your heart.

Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil.

Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.

I was once a fortunate man but at some point fortune abandoned me.

Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what’s left and live it properly. What doesn’t transmit light creates its own darkness.

Be tolerant with others and strict with yourself.

The soul becomes dyed with the colour of its thoughts.

Take full account of what Excellencies you possess, and in gratitude remember how you would hanker after them, if you had them not.

Do what you will. Even if you tear yourself apart, most people will continue doing the same things.

It’s the truth I’m after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.

I hope in my next life I am able to heal the pain I caused you.

You’ll know you’ve healed when you find gratitude in the pain that once broke you.

We heal by following the example of the healed.

Breaking things as a child seemed so easy, than fixing broken things as a adult.

Time only heals the wounds we are willing to face.

Tell me your story and I’ll tell you mine. Love is found in knowing. Seeing and being seen. This is how we heal.

Brokenness is the bow from which God launches the arrow of healing.

I was told I could break free if I wanted to. That my wings would mend with time. But how can I mend a part of me that was never built to weather a storm?
