Take time off to give to yourself, in a sense to fill yourself up to fullness, to where now you can overflow in giving.
John GrayAs precious as knowledge itself is the learning. As precious as any reward is the earning.
John GrayTo offer a man unsolicited advice is to presume that he doesn't know what to do or that he can't do it on his own.
John GrayOur lives are more like fragmentary dreams than the enactments of conscious selves. We control very little of what we most care about; many of our most fateful decisions are made unbeknownst to ourselves. Yet we insist that mankind can achieve what we cannot: conscious mastery of its existence. This is the creed of those who have given up an irrational belief in God for an irrational faith in mankind.
