Be ahead of all parting, as though it already were behind you.

To work is to live without dying.

Only the individual who is solitary is like a thing placed under profound laws, and when he goes out into the morning that is just beginning, or looks out into the evening that is full of happening, and if he feels what is going on there, then all status drops from him as from a dead man, though he stands in the midst of sheer life.

Your preparation for the real world is not in the answers you’ve learned, but in the questions you’ve learned how to ask yourself.

All the soarings of my mind begin in my blood.

Love and death are the great gifts that are given to us; mostly they are passed on unopened.

Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Do not despair if the answers don't come immediately. Some answers are only revealed with the passage of time.
