We live in the world when we love it.

Leave out my name from the gift if it be a burden, but keep my song.

From the grasses in the field to the stars in the sky, each one is doing just that; and there is such profound peace and surpassing beauty in nature because none of these tries forcibly to transgress its limitations.

The danger inherent in all force grows stronger when it is likely to gain success, for then it becomes temptation.

False hope is clung to with all one's might and main, till a day comes when it has sucked the heart dry and it forcibly breaks through its bonds and departs. After that comes the misery of awakening, and then once again the longing to get back into the maze of the same mistakes.

And, indeed, what little of beauty and peace is to be found in the societies of men is owing to the daily performance of small duties, not to big doings and fine talk.

I never give answers. I lead on from one question to another. That is my leadership.
