Nothing can come out of nothing, any more than a thing can go back to nothing.

We are too much accustomed to attribute to a single cause that which is the product of several, and the majority of our controversies come from that.

And can anything else that is useful be accomplished without change? Do you not see then that for yourself also to change is just the same, and equally necessary for the universal nature?

Look deeply. Don't miss the inherent quality and value of everything.

You are making an inopportune rejection of what Nature has given you today, if all your mind is set on what men will say of you tomorrow.

That which is not good for the bee-hive cannot be good for the bees.

If someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which no one ever was truly harmed. Harmed is the person who continues in his self-deception and ignorance.
