There's no sense in being precise when you don't even know what you're talking about.

One just needs a little alertness to see and find out: Life is really a great cosmic laughter.

There is geometry in the humming of the strings. There is music in the spacing of the spheres.

Property is surely a right of mankind as real as liberty.

One must wait until the evening to see how splendid the day has been.

Why fit in when you were born to stand out?

The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.

Empty your cup so that it may be filled; become devoid to gain totality.

You cannot truly listen to anyone and do anything else at the same time.

How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else.

I have had good experience and trial of this world...I know what it is to be a subject, what to be a sovereign, what to have good neighbours, and sometimes meet evil willers. I have found treason in trust, seen great benefits little regarded.

Be frank and explicit. That is the right line to take when you wish to conceal your own mind and to confuse the minds of others.

It is better to be looked over than overlooked.

Be curious, not judgmental.

And no one will listen to us until we listen to ourselves.

Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is.
