A cheery relaxation is man's natural state, just as nature itself is relaxed. A waterfall is concerned only with being itself, not with doing something it considers waterfall-like.

When one plan that you have, to get this or to get that, to advance in the world, or whatever it might be, when that seems in danger of veering off the path you have set for it, you have your emergency plan ready. And in simple language what that emergency plan is, what you put into operation, is called worry. If you can worry you are occupied, and what an incredible human situation it is!

Can you think of anything more permanently elating than to know that you are on the right road at last?

Human sickness is so severe that few can bear to look at it...but those who do will become well.

Just as surely as distress must follow self-deceit, healing must follow self-honesty.

When you are genuinely strong, you neither attack nor defend and so retain your energy.

Ignorant people remain ignorant because they have a secret agreement to call one another intelligent.
