How easy it is to repel and release every impression which is troublesome and immediately to be tranquil.

Limit time to the present. Meditate upon your last hour.

Nothing happens to any man which he is not formed by nature to bear. The same things happen to another, and either because he does not see that they have happened or because he would show a great spirit he is firm and remains unharmed. It is a shame then that ignorance and conceit should be stronger than wisdom.

I seek the truth...it is only persistence in self-delusion and ignorance that does harm.

Objective judgement, now, at this very moment. Unselfish action, now, at this very moment. Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of all external events. That's all you need.

Everything - a horse, a vine - is created for some duty... For what task, then, were you yourself created?

How ridiculous and how strange to be surprised at anything which happens in life
