Believe nothing, not even yourself.

Better to die than live in sleep.

Remember yourself always and everywhere.

Ancient art has a specific inner content. At one time, art possessed the same purpose that books do in our day, namely: to preserve and transmit knowledge. In olden days, people did not write books, they incorporated their knowledge into works of art. We would find a great many ideas in the works of ancient art passed down to us, if only we knew how to read them.

To know means to know all. Not to know all means not to know. In order to know all, it is only necessary to know a little. But, in order to know this little, it is first necessary to know pretty much.

Without struggle, no progress and no result. Every breaking of habit produces a change in the machine.

He who has gotten rid of the disease of "tomorrow" has a chance of achieving what he is here for.
