Belief and disbelief have divided humankind into so many sects, blinding its eyes to the vision of the Oneness of all Life.

Peace is perfected activity.

For the value of everything exists for man only so long as he does not understand it. When he has fully understood, the value is lost, be it the lowest thing or the highest thing.

Mastery lies not merely in stilling the mind, but in directing it towards whatever point we desire, in allowing it to be active as far as we wish, in using it to fulfill our purpose, in causing it to be still when we want to still it. He who has come to this has created his heaven within himself; he has no need to wait for a heaven in the hereafter, for he has produced it within his own mind now.

He who once burns his mouth on the hot soup, blows even the buttermilk.

There is no difference in the destination, the only difference is in the journey.

Be contented with what you possess in life; be thankful for what does not belong to you, for it is so much less care; but try to obtain what you need, and make the best of every moment of your life.
