Life only demands from you the strength that you possess. Only one feat is possible; not to run away.

I never discuss discussions.

Constant attention by a good nurse may be just as important as a major operation by a surgeon.

Never, for the sake of peace and quiet, deny your own experience or convictions.

Never let success hide its emptiness from you, achievement its nothingness, toil its desolation. And so...keep alive the incentive to push on further, that pain in the soul which drives us beyond ourselves...Do not look back. And do not dream about the future, either. It will neither give you back the past, nor satisfy your other daydreams. Your duty, your reward - your destiny - are here and now.

When you have reached the point where you no longer expect a response, you will at last be able to give in such a way that the other is able to receive, and be grateful. When Love has matured and, through a dissolution of the self into light, become a radiance, then shall the Lover be liberated from dependence upon the Beloved, and the Beloved also be made perfect by being liberated from the Lover.

It is more important to understand the ground of your own behavior than to understand the motives of another.
