The more one lives alone on the river or in the open country, the clearer it becomes that nothing is more beautiful or great than to perform the ordinary duties of one's daily life simply and naturally.

Night's darkness is a bag that bursts with the gold of the dawn.

Reach high, for stars lie hidden in you. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.

Today I feel that I shall win through. I have come to the gateway of the simple; I am now content to see things as they are. I have gained freedom myself; I shall allow freedom to others. In my work will be my salvation.

My eyes have seen much, but they are not weary. My ears have heard much, but they thirst for more.

And it shall be my endeavour to reveal thee in my actions, knowing it is thy power gives me strength to act.

The heart wants to go on; that is its dharma. For unless it moves, it dies.
