There are many paths to enlightenment. Be sure to take the one with a heart.

It is better to do one's own duty, however defective it may be, than to follow the duty of another, however well one may perform it. He who does his duty as his own nature reveals it, never sins.

He who has little will receive. He who has much will be embarrassed.

Fame or integrity: which is more important? Money or happiness: which is more valuable? Success or failure: which is more destructive? If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never truly be fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.

Approach your own inner life with a loving quality that accepts who you are without trying to change who you are.

Virtue in its grandest aspect is neither more nor less than following reason.

Success is as dangerous as failure. Hope is as hollow as fear.
