We all have within us a center of stillness surrounded by silence.

Humility before the flower at the timber line is the gate which gives access to the path up the open fell.

Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.

The pursuit of peace and progress cannot end in a few years in either victory or defeat. The pursuit of peace and progress, with its trials and its errors, its successes and its setbacks, can never be relaxed and never abandoned.

Do not look back and do not dream about the future. It will neither give you back the past, nor satisfy your other daydreams. Your duty, your reward, your destiny, is in the present moment

The myths have always condemned those who 'looked back.' Condemned them, whatever the paradise may have been which they were leaving. Hence this shadow over each departure from your decision.

If even dying is to be made a social function, then, grant me the favor of sneaking out on tiptoe without disturbing the party.
