Love and compassion open our own inner life, reducing stress, distrust and loneliness.
Life a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of the future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter.
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime.
To enjoy life, we must touch much of it lightly.
Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.
This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.
We are either progressing or retrograding all the while. There is no such thing as remaining stationary in this life.
