Mastery is the art of setting your foot on the path.

To learn is to change.

At the heart of each of us, whatever our imperfections, there exists a silence pulse of perfect rhythm which is absolutely individual and unique, and yet which connects us to everything else.

History tells us more than we want to know about what is wrong with man, and we can hardly turn a page in the daily press without learning the specific time, place, and name of evil.

The more you move in rhythm with someone, the closer you become with that person.

The essence of boredom is to be found in the obsessive search for novelty.
