I AM IGNORANT of absolute truth. But I am humble before my ignorance and therein lies my honor and my reward.

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.

For in truth it is life that gives unto life-while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness.

Learn the words of wisdom uttered by the wise and apply them in your own life. Live them - but do not a make a show of reciting them, for he who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass loaded with books.

If you would behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and sea are one.

Follow your heart. Your heart is the right guide in everything big. Mine is so limited. What you want to do is determined by that divine element that is in each of us.

You shall be free indeed when your days are not without a care, nor your nights without a want and a grief, but rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked and unbound.
