Be realistic: Plan for a miracle

Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak.

It is not titles that honor men, but men that honor titles.

Be silent or let thy words be worth more than silence.

Time wounds all heels.

Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.

Desire, ignorance, and inequality—this is the trinity of bondage.

Desire is poverty. Desire is the greatest impurity of the mind. Desire is the motive force for action. Desire in the mind is the real impurity. Even a spark of desire is a very great evil.

There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

You can be rich in spirit, kindness, love and all those things that you can't put a dollar sign on.

Chaos is a name for any order that produces confusion in our minds.

The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.

Work is the price which is paid for reputation.

The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues.

Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.

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

All great achievements require time.

None but ourselves can free our minds.

Taste every fruit of every tree in the garden at least once. It is an insult to creation not to experience it fully. Temperance is wickedness.

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
