Instead of going where it is loud and noisy,
why don’t you try going into the silence and
learn what you hear there


We spend so much time talking that we don’t listen

Why do we spend so much time thinking about
the way we were instead of the way we will be


History, it is said, is prologue. But it is the
epilogue that is true history


It is the discomfiting axiom of life that we are to
live it by faith, and not by proofs


Just because its logical, or “scientific,” doesn’t mean its true.
And just because most people believe it doesn’t
make it true either


You are taught, not merely to change you, but to
teach you to change yourself


He who refuses to be taught is full of pride,
lacks humility, and has condemned himself
to ignorance


He who insists he is right all the time, and
loves to win arguments, has made the greater
mistake, and is actually the loser


You’re not being lectured to, just reminded of
what you forgot


Shouldn’t we be thankful and grateful that somebody
knows more than we do instead of being offended by it


The purpose of a great teacher is not to intimidate you
or to make you feel inferior to him or less than you are,
but to help you be his equal and even his superior


Instead of saying to yourself, “Well, I’m just a human
being just like everybody else” why don’t you believe
in your own ultimate perfection


Being a human being is not the pitiful thing you have
been conditioned to believe it is
