A person who spends more than he earns is a fool

What's real and what's true aren't necessarily the same.

My meditation is simple. It does not require any complex practices. It is simple. It is singing. It is dancing. It is sitting silently.

As the soft yield of water cleaves obstinate stone, So to yield with life solves the insolvable: To yield, I have learned, is to come back again.

In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

If I speak of myself in different ways, that is because I look at myself in different ways.

Do not deny the classical approach, simply as a reaction, or you will have created another pattern and trapped yourself there.

Admiration is the daughter of ignorance.

Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.

Do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in few!

The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

Your reputation is in the hands of others. That's what the reputation is. You can't control that. The only thing you can control is your character.

The smaller the mind, the greater the conceit.

Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting.

The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.

If you don't know where you're from, you'll have a hard time saying where you're going.

What you're thinking is what you're becoming.

Kind words don't cost much. Yet they accomplish much.

Meditation will bring you sensitivity, a great sense of belonging to the world. It is our world - the stars are ours, and we are not foreigners here. We are part of it, we are the heart of it.
