It's not who you are on the inside but what you do that defines you!

This knowledge would be of vlaue to me in my ministry.  The more I knew about my fellowman, the better I could understand and help him.  This was my mission in life: to help each man and woman know his real self and how to express his true potential.  This journey had helped me realize how much work there was for me to do and how much I had to learn myself before I could proceed with my life work.

It is the deep urge to be one with the whole, the deep urge to dissolve I and thou into one unity.  Love is that because we are separated from our own source, out of that separation the desire arises to fall back into the whole, to become one with it.

The dance of the flower in the wind, in the sun, in the rain, cannot be understood by the head; the heart has to be open for it.

"Who am I?" is not really a question because it has no answer to it; it is unanswerable.  It is a device, not a question.

Don't tell me I'm burning the candle at both ends, tell me where to get more wax.

It is kindness in a person, not beauty that wins our love

A virtuous man or woman who is determined to develop the Supreme Enlightened Mind, should thus develop it: I have to lead all living beings to put a stop to (reincarnation) and escape (suffering), and when they have been so led, not one of them in fact stops (reincarnating) or escapes suffering. Why? Because, if a Bodhisattva believes in the notion of an ego, a personality, or a living being, he is not a true Bodhisattva.

We can not live only for ourselves.  A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men.

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our despair, against our own will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.
