There is a very fine line between loving life and being greedy for it.

One must learn to care for oneself first, so that one can then dare to care for someone else.

No one comes from the earth like grass. We come like trees. We all have roots.

Without courage we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency.

Whining is just unbecoming.

If you have, give. If you learn, teach.

Let's tell the truth to people. When people ask, 'How are you?' have the nerve sometimes to answer truthfully. You must know, however, that people will start avaoiding you because, they, too, have knees that pain them and heads that hurt and they don't want to know about yours. But think of it this way: If people avoid you, you will have more time to meditate and do fine research on a cure for whatever truly afflicts you.
