All we have to do is to receive what we are given...We are given the naturalness to love someone, to be calm in crisis, to ignore self-defeating suggestions, to be pleasant, forgiving, tender, helpful, unworried, brave, energetic.

Bitterness is the outcome of a wrong mental movement - the attempt to force external events to conform to internal fantasy. The cure is to see fantasy as fantasy, which will reveal it as neither necessary nor rewarding.

The most marvelous experience of life is to transform life according to reality, not imagination.

You must dare to disassociate yourself from those who would delay your journey... Leave, depart, if not physically, then mentally. Go your own way, quietly, undramatically, and venture toward Trueness at last.

A desperation to escape a problem is the wrong way. A passion to understand it is the right way

Truth does not really hurt, rather it is our resistance to its message that causes us pain.

A false path must be tensely and angrily defended by those it has deceived.
