I have attained my desire in this world, which was to travel through the earth.

Bite off more than you can chew, then chew it.

We are part of the Earth. The Earth is part of us.

To stand by the beds at sunrise and see the flowers awake is a heavenly delight.

The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls the butterfly.

Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.
