I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.

What does not benefit the hive is no benefit to the bee.

The act of dying is one of the acts of life.

The inner master, when confronted with an obstacle, uses it as fuel, like a fire which consumes things that are thrown into it. A small lamp would be snuffed out, but a big fire will engulf what is thrown at it and burn hotter; it consumes the obstacle and uses it to reach a higher level.

Get rid of the judgement ... get rid of the 'I am hurt,' you are rid of the hurt itself.

Live your life as if you are ready to say goodbye to it at any moment, as if the time left for you were some pleasant surprise.
