Birds make great sky-circles of their freedom. How do they learn it? They fall and falling, they're given wings.

Whoever is sitting with friends is in the midst of a flower garden, though he may be in the fire. Whoever sits with an enemy is in the fire, even though he is in the midst of a garden.

In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils. And carry you a thousand steps toward your goal.

Tend to your vital heart, and all that you worry about will be solved.

When a man makes up a story for his child, he becomes a father and a child together, listening.

My words are like a ship, and the sea is their meaning. Come to me and I will take you to the depths of spirit.

My heart rushes into the garden, joyfully tasting all the delights. But reason frowns, disapproving of the heart's bad manners.
