Time has been transformed, and we have changed; it has advanced and set us in motion; it has unveiled its face, inspiring us with bewilderment and exhilaration.

Your house is your larger body. It grows in the sun and sleeps in the stillness of the night; and it is not dreamless. Does not your house dream, and dreaming, leave the city for grove or hilltop?

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Death most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people.

Perhaps a man may commit suicide in self-defense.

Do not fear the thorns in your path, for they draw only corrupt blood.

If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.
