We can't rely on others to be our teachers anymorethe future belongs to individuals who decide to become great bosses (and teachers).

Now: For those of you who are lazy I can offer no hope: death will not bring you an eternal resting place. You may rest, if this is your wish, for a while. Not only must you use your abilities after death, however, but you must face up to yourself for those that you did not use during your previous existence.

You will not understand your part within the framework of nature until you actually see yourselves in danger of tearing it apart.

Freedom isn't the ability to do whatever you want. It's the willingness to do whatever you want.

Knowing what to do is very, very different than actually doing it.

Forget the cringing selves you sometimes are and remember, instead, the magic essence of your own being that sings even now through your fingertips. That is the reality which you are seeking. Experience it fully.

We've discovered that the earth isn't flat; that we won't fall off its edges, and our experience as a species has changed as a result. Maybe we'll soon find out that the self isn't "flat" either, and that death is as real and yet as deceptive as the horizon; that we don't fall out of life either.
