Poetry and philosophy will become friends.

Test everything, try everything, and then believe it, and if you find it for the good of many, give it to all.

I do not believe in eternal progress, that we are growing on ever and ever in a straight line. It is too nonsensical to believe. There is no motion in a straight line. A straight line infinitely projected becomes a circle. The force sent out will complete the circle and return to its starting place.

Body is an unreal dream, and we think we are all bodies.

Give up, renounce the world. Now we are like dogs strayed into a kitchen and eating a piece of meat, looking round in fear lest at any moment some one may come and drive them out. Instead of that, be a king and know you own the world. This never comes until you give it up and it ceases to bind. Give up mentally, if you do not physically. Give up from the heart of your hearts

Fill the brain with high thoughts, highest ideals, place them day and night before you, and out of that will come great work.

No one is to blame for our miseries but ourselves.
