He that will not have peace, God gives him warre. [He that will not have peace, God gives him war. ]
Some children are wiser than adults.
The narrow mind rejects; wisdom accepts.
Your mind is your religion.
One action produces a reaction; that is karma.
If you expect your life to be full of ups and downs, then your mind will be much more peaceful.
The fact is that when you are in a clean, clear state of mind you will be free to pay full attention to what you are doing and you will therefore naturally do it well. Problems come when you are not living in a natural state of mind. Then, no matter what you are doing your mind will be on something else.
You can exist without your soul, you know, as long as your brain and heart are still working. But you’ll have no sense of self anymore, no memory, no. . . anything. There’s no chance at all of recovery. You’ll just — exist. As an empty shell. And your soul is gone forever. . . lost.
I liked wrestling a lot better than boxing. I remember thinking at that time that wrestling was a pure demonstration of strength, which I was interested in, while boxing was just hitting somebody or getting hit, which didn't appeal to me. But a demonstration of strength was okay, so I chose wrestling.
I hate elitists. I hate conceited people. I hate pompous people.
What does a life of total dedication to truth mean? It means, first of all, a life of continuous and never-ending stringent self-examination. We know the world only through our relationship to it. Therefore, to know the world, we must not only examine it but we must simultaneously examine the examiner.
