We conquer ourselves by learning patience, for she gives to us our longed for victory only in the surrender of self.

If we only knew how many times our seemingly clever comment cut straight into the heart of the person with whom we have just spoken, it is we who would bleed.

Who you really are, your True Nature, is no more tied to the kind of person you've been than the wind is tied to the skies through which it moves. Your past is just that, the past, a place within your psyche with no more reality to it than a picture of a castle on a postcard is made from stone. You have a destination far beyond where you find yourself standing today.

As the lesser is always found within the greater, so this principle holds true with regards to time and the eternal.

An unattended mind is the breeding ground of self-defeat.

The heart at peace is its own reward, needing nothing outside of itself to be fully content.

Disappointment, discouragement, and despair are nothing but the bitter fruit of an unfulfilled expectation allowed to live beyond its time.
