If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.

It is wicked to withdraw from being useful to the needy, and cowardly to give way to the worthless.

If you have assumed a character above your strength, you have both acted in this matter in an unbecoming way, and you have neglected that which you might have fulfilled.

Caretake this moment. Immerse yourself in its particulars. Respond to this person, this challenge, this deed. Quit evasions. Stop giving yourself needless trouble. It is time to really live; to fully inhabit the situation you happen to be in now.

It is your own convictions which compels you; that is, choice compels choice.

Wisdom means understanding without any doubt that circumstances do not rise to meet our expectations. Events happen as they may. People behave as they will.

Anything worth putting off is worth abandoning altogether.
