Men build too many walls and not enough bridges.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

If we know exactly where we're going, exactly how to get there, and exactly what we'll see along the way, we won't learn anything.

He who can destroy a thing, can control a thing.

Your inner world has its own taste, has its own fragrance, has its own light. And it is utterly silent.

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

Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!

In a good bookroom you feel in some mysterious way that you are absorbing the wisdom contained in all the books through your skin, without even opening them.

What a liberation to realize that the “voice in my head” is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that.

I think about the meaning of pain. Pain is personal. It really belongs to the one feeling it. Probably the only thing that is your own. I like mine.

Appearances often are deceiving.

Don't expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong.

I have no desire to make windows into mens souls

A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.

Throw your heart over the fence and the rest will follow.

Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.

Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.

You want a love which is born out of meditation, not born out of the mind.

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.
