Look not to the faults of others, nor to their omissions and commissions. But rather look to your own acts, to what you have done and left undone.

Find out for yourself what is truth, what is real. Discover that there are virtuous things and there are non-virtuous things. Once you have discovered for yourself give up the bad and embrace the good.

As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are. Otherwise you will miss most of your life.

It is not life and wealth and power that enslave men, but the cleaving to life and wealth and power.

The gift of truth excels all other gifts.

If you don't see God in the next person you meet, look no further.

May we live like the lotus, at home in muddy water.
