I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.

Life is made of ever so many partings welded together.

If you want to look good in front of thousands, you have to outwork thousands in front of nobody.

Endure, and keep yourselves for days of happiness.

If it is true for you, it is true for someone else, and you are no longer alone.

Open to whatever you experience without fighting. Let it be present just as it is. Let go of the battle.

There is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.

The truth is the light and light is the truth.

It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.

We are all of us obliged... to nurse a few little follies in ourselves.

You have to fail in order to practice being brave.

Don’t be afraid to be confused. Try to remain permanently confused. Anything is possible.
