Loneliness is the way by which destiny endeavors to lead man to himself.

The truth is lived, not taught.

God does not send us despair in order to kill us; he sends it in order to awaken us to new life.

Happiness is a how; not a what. A talent, not an object.

Happiness is love, nothing else. A man who is capable of love is happy.

The deity is within you, not in ideas and books. Truth is lived, not taught.

Love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is only your aversion to it that hurts, nothing else.

Learn what is to be taken seriously and laugh at the rest.

To achieve the possible, we must attempt the impossible again and again.

The true profession of a man is to find his way to himself.

Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.

Within you there is a stillness and sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself

Whatever the public blames you for, cultivate it; it is yourself.

Every day in the mirror I watch death at work.

My only politics have been friendship.

The eyes of the dead are closed gently; we also have to open gently the eyes of the living.

The extreme limit of wisdom, that's what the public calls madness.
