It’s better to look ahead and prepare, than to look back and regret.

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

I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.

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

It isn't just talent. You have to have something else. You have to have a kind of nerve.

Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.

Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.

Ultimately a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time.

I do not think it worth while to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.
