Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.

Stay centered, do not overstretch. Extend from your center, return to your center.

If a man should conquer in battle a thousand and a thousand more, and another should conquer himself, his would be the greater victory, because the greatest of victories is the victory over oneself.

Truths cannot be acquired from words out of other people's mouths. Before Truths can be internalized, they must come from one's own realizations and practices. Through a lifetime of personal practice, human beings are capable of revealing all of the secrets of the cosmic essence. You are your own best judge.

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.

Mind is everything. What we think, we become.

Follow then the shining ones, the wise, the awakened, the loving, for they know how to work and forbear.
