Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.

Drop the idea that you are Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. The world would go on even without you. Don't take yourself so seriously.

When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.

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.

Whatever you think the world is withholding from you, you are withholding from the world.

Think globally, act locally.

Wrong life cannot be lived rightly.

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

The smaller the mind, the greater the conceit.

Turn your wounds into wisdom.

When prosperity comes, do not use all of it.

The oldest, shortest words- 'yes' and 'no'- are those which require the most thought.

It was a melancholy secret that reality can arouse desires but never satisfy them.

Destiny is not a passive agent that lies in the lap of the Gods, but is an active instrument that lies in your own hands to shape as you will.

Every intelligent individual wants to know what makes him tick, and yet is at once fascinated and frustrated by the fact that oneself is the most difficult of all things to know.

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

The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.

Most of what matters in our lives takes place in our absence.
