The majority of people have no understanding of the things with which they daily meet, nor, when instructed, do they have any right knowledge of them, although to themselves they seem to have.

And some men are as ignorant of what they do when awake as they are forgetful of what they do when asleep.

God is day and night, winter and summer, war and peace, surfeit and hunger.

Life is a child moving counters in a game.

For those who are awake, the Cosmos is One.

Presumption must be quenched even more than a fire.

The awake share a common world, but the asleep turn aside into private worlds.
