Do not look for happiness outside yourself. The awakened seek happiness inside.

If you wish to befriend someone, look for a person who loves first God then themselves. If they love God, they will be able to love their neighbor, too.

Death can be understood as the passage from one form to another, from a limited degree of life to another higher, freer one. It is wrong to assume that everything ends with death; what ends is only the temporary conditions in which people have lived on earth.

Being happy is a great science. If you are not happy, do not be confused. Happiness is hard to achieve.

Yours is only what you always have on you.

If you do not fling old ideas out of your mind, you cannot give birth to new ones.

Stop in somebody's shadow to rest and cool down, and you are lost. No one can make anyone else happy.
