No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.

You are good when you are one with yourself. Yet when you are not one with yourself you are not evil. For a divided house is not a den of thieves; it is only a divided house. And a ship without rudder may wander aimlessly among perilous isles yet sink not to the bottom.

I am one of those who believe that spiritual progress is a rule of human life, but the approach to perfection is slow and painful. If a woman elevates herself in one respect and is retarded in another, it is because the rough trail that leads to the mountain peak is not free of ambushes of thieves and lairs of wolves.

Forgetfulness is a form of freedom.

They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.

For what is prayer but the expansion of your self into the living ether?

And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree.
