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

Suppose you stand on a high place to enjoy the beauty of the sparkling sea below. You need do nothing to create that beauty; you need only BE IN THE SAME PLACE WHERE IT IS, and let nature do the rest. So it is with the inner life. There is nothing we can DO to gain psychic beauty. It already exists without our effort. We need only be where we belong, that is, in self-union. Then, beauty IS.

Society is like a crowd in carnival costumes with everyone fearful that others will see through his disguise.

Run forward when possible, walk ahead when you can, stagger onward when you must, but never cease your forward movement.

Be teachable. That is the whole secret.

Genuine kindness is not what we do, it is what we are.

You cannot stop destructive actions by others, but you can stop your own destructive reactions to them
