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.

The 'great' commitment is so much easier than the ordinary everyday one.

Praise those of your critics for whom nothing is up to standard.

Here man is no longer the center of the world, only a witness, but a witness who is also a partner in the silent life of Nature, bound by secret affinities of the trees.

Doffing the ego's safe glory, he finds his naked reality.

Unless there is a spiritual renaissance, the world will know no peace.

Forgiving is forgetting, in spite of remembering.
