All things – great, small, good, bad, friend, enemy—should be a lesson, not an obsession.

It’s past time that people get involved in thinking – now that the computers can take over the field of memory.

Vanity begins and ends with deception, so the reason people put interesting and attractive clothes on their bodies is perhaps the same for having uninteresting and unattractive expressions on their faces.

Beware of the possible reason some people are honestly down and out - it is because they tried to copy the many who are superficially doing well.

The bird of truth would not be able to fly if it weren't for the air of lies we breathe.

Sometimes when you feed on another’s word you must eat it like a banana – you peel it first.

Genius does not only require superior knowledge and skill, but also superior patience.

Defensive thinkers best defend themselves from knowing who they are.

There can be danger in stretching the body if it’s not done properly. The same is true with the imagination and the chemistry which may give the imagination elasticity, but the soul gives a direction.

MUSEUM
They came, they looked, they walked
their eyes wide open
they didn’t see
because their minds were closed Their eyes wide open
they didn’t know they couldn’t see
because their minds were closed;
so they looked, and left.

Truth is so large OR people’s minds are so small that they’re only able to nibble on the edges – and when growth brings them to the area where they can feed on truth itself, as they move in and eat of the seed, there they become truth.

People have learned to escape reality very well but too often lose their way back.

Can someone eat the fruit that comes from the tree of action that grows from the seeds of your mind?

Having a sincere desire to want growth does not mean at that point you are committing yourself to growth.

Because of subconscious guilt, people spend half their lives in self-punishment and the other half taking on more guilt.
